WELCOME !
A VERY WARM WELCOME
to the Parish of
St Mary the Virgin, Stanwell and St Matthew, Ashford.
As a community rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, we joyfully respond to the Gospel's call in our time, striving to embody the love and grace of God in all we do. We are a welcoming, inclusive family of faith, offering a place where all are invited to experience the boundless love of Christ—no conditions, just an open heart.
We are blessed to be under the episcopal care of Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop of Fulham.
MISSION
At St Mary’s and St Matthew’s, as members of the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church—the living body of Christ—we are deeply committed to embracing and living out the mission that Christ entrusted to His Church:
“Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations.”
Matthew 28:19
With hearts full of purpose, we strive to share the love of Christ and invite others to walk with us on this transformative journey of faith.
EVENTS
We emphasise sacramental worship (the Mass or Holy Eucharist) celebrated in a traditional Anglo-Catholic style, with strong orthodox teaching and preaching, supportive pastoral care, a caring parish family, and responsibility to our community and the greater world.
The Church is a Field Hospital for Sinners.
