On Sunday 11th September we mark the annual Patronal Festival (St Mary’s ‘birthday celebration’, if you like), with a single service at 11.00am.

The service will honour our patron saint, the Blessed Virgin Mary,  and also offer prayers and time for reflection on the loss and gratitude for the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Everyone is most welcome to attend and to stay for a cup of tea or coffee after the service.

We’re grateful to Revd Diane Clark, Chaplain at St Albans High School for Girls for leading this special service.

Due to the weather forecast, this service will be held inside the church. There will be no 8.00am service that day.

Please note that the concert by Symphonia Academica that was due to take place at 3.00pm has been postponed.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come along, as you are to all other days, services and events at St Mary’s.
