St. Anselm's Parish Church, Hayes Town.

ST. ANSELM'S IS A LIVING CHURCH situated in the heart of Hayes Town. Our Sunday Parish Sung Mass is held at 10:00am. We sing hymns, listen to an old and new testament reading, a psalm and the Gospel with a sermon. Incense is burned, raising our prayers to God in the Beauty of Holiness. EVERYONE at the time of Holy Communion is invited to the Altar Throne Of God to receive the Blessed Sacrament. If you are not a communicant please come forward and stand with your head bowed, you will then receive a personal blessing from the Priest. If you would like to receive communion by becoming a full member of the Anglican Church please discuss Baptism and/or Confirmation preparation with our Parish Priest Fr. Geoffrey who is available at the back of the church after Mass. This will not commit you in any way. After Mass there is tea and coffee served which gives EVERYBODY especially newcomers a unique opportunity to socialise, become known and to discuss any aspect of The Christian Faith with Fr. Geoffrey. There is an area at the back of the Church which is well used by our young worshippers. This is managed by a group of volunteers who give their time during the Eucharist, we are always looking for more parents to become involved in this task, and to supervise projects given to the children. If you feel you can give about 1 hour (1 x 24th - ONE TWENTY FOURTH ) of your day on Sunday it will be greatly appreciated. We warmly welcome single members and families of all denominations here at St Anselm's Church to join in our worship. So shake off dull sloth and joyful rise, to pay the morning sacrifice. An entrance ramp at the front of the Church now makes us disabled friendly.
