To see the times of Mass each day in February see notice above. Times are also on sheet on the churchyard noticeboard and in the weekly bulletin.
Children welcome!Children are always welcome. We realise that children view worship differently from adults and that they join in in their own way. So when your vocal baby or toddler adds to the worship, don't worry - we won't; we love to have them!
There are plenty of toys, books, colouring materials and games at the back of the church and we welcome children who wish to become servers from a very young age, as their presence is as important as everyone else's. 
If you're uncertain about the forms of worship at St Mary's but would like to come into church to get the feel of it first, why not come to Coffee and Cake on a Tuesday morning? ALL ARE WELCOME, whether you attend any church or none. See 'What's on' for details.
The Mass - what it's about
The Mass (also known as the Eucharist, Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper) is the single most important thing the Church does. At the Mass, the community gathers to hear the word of God and to be fed on the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood in bread and wine. As Christians, we are called to follow Jesus and to spread the good news about the kingdom of God. But this would mean nothing without Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross and his Resurrection, when he showed that Love is stronger than death. Jesus gave us this gift so that we can always meet him as fully as his first disciples and be filled with his living presence. This happens whenever we join in the celebration of the Mass. 
On Sundays the Mass is a joyful celebration with people of all ages. We sing hymns, and use incense, bells and music to enrich our experience of worship. On weekdays the celebration of the Mass is quieter and smaller – a different way to be still, to reflect and to meet with Christ.
