St. Mary’s Church

Sadly, the Church now has to be closed and will remain so for the foreseeable future. I hope to give a short video reflection every week and to celebrate the Eucharist on Sundays which again will be available on Facebook or YouTube. You’re all in my thoughts and prayers but please, stay home and stay safe.
