St. Mary’s provides a broad spectrum of activities for all ages and interests. We are keen to help everyone feel at home and part of the St. Mary’s Church family. One way this happens quite naturally, of course, is when people start to get involved by serving at St. Mary’s in practical ways.

We would be delighted if you would like to offer your time and talents for specific roles around the church. There is more information about what that might look like here, or you are welcome to message us below to begin the conversation.
