Wed 1st July – Icon of the Day

‘…to love also means to obey, lend an ear and open one’s heart to the other, make a place for them, renounce the pretence of going it alone, and stretch oneself to truly be with the other. In this sense, true love is submission (a reciprocal one…) not only to all men and women, but also to the order in the world that one cannot modify, birth and death, events and history’

Thadee Matura OFM

In St Mary’s prayer cycle for June 2020, today we pray for the NHS and those in the caring professions and for the police, fire and ambulance services.

Please donate if you can!

In these unprecedented times, St Mary’s is reaching out and supporting our community in many ways, especially online. But with Services in church cancelled, we no longer receive income from collections, nor from hiring out the church and hall buildings.

If you can help us financially to continue to offer Christ's love to our community in these difficult times, as those before us have done down the centuries, please consider making a donation by debit/credit card and to Gift Aid it if possible, by clicking this link to 'givealittle':


Thank you!
