Welcome

We are delighted that you’ve found us! St Mary’s and St Matthew’s is a place where faith and friendship grow side by side. Whether you’re exploring Christianity for the first time, returning after a while, or simply curious, you are always welcome here.

Our worship is at the heart of who we are – beautiful, prayerful, and rooted in God’s love. You don’t need to know what to do or what to say – simply come as you are, and let us walk this journey of faith with you.

What to Expect

From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll be greeted with warmth and a smile. Our Sunday Mass is both traditional and family-friendly, with clear service sheets to help you follow along.

After Mass, why not stay for coffee or tea? It’s a great chance to ask questions, meet new friends, and feel part of our parish family.

Children and Families

Children bring life and joy to our worship. We offer children’s activities during some services, and we love to see little ones join in, even if they’re noisy – they are part of our family too.

Community and Social Events

Church is about more than Sundays – it’s about friendship, laughter, and community. Throughout the year we hold parish lunches, coffee mornings, summer BBQs, and seasonal celebrations. Everyone is welcome, and these are a great way to get to know others in a relaxed setting.
