During Holy Week 2025, join us for special services as we mark the most important week in the Christian calendar, reflecting on the arrest, trial, execution and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Please note that in the lead up to Holy Week, we will also host Easter-themed craft activities for children and families during the Easter Holidays on Tuesday 8th April at St Mary’s from 2pm-4pm – just drop in.
