How may we help?
The Church with you through life
Each of these pages explains the Church’s ministry, the preparation involved and how to contact the parish. You are welcome to make an enquiry even when you are uncertain about the next step.
Page under construction
Confirmation
Confirmation is a deepening of baptismal life and a renewed commitment to Christian discipleship. A new page about preparation, the service and the continuing journey of faith is being prepared.
Marriage
Explore a church wedding at St Mary’s or St Matthew’s, learn about preparation and banns, and begin the conversation about celebrating your marriage before God.
Funerals
The Church offers prayer, dignity and pastoral care at the time of death. Find guidance about arranging a Christian funeral, readings, music and support for the bereaved.
You do not need to know exactly what to ask
A first enquiry is simply the beginning of a conversation. The Parish Office and clergy will help you understand the next steps and the arrangements that apply to your circumstances.
