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.

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.
