Welcome to St Mary's
The Church of St Mary the Virgin in Peterborough serves both as a place of worship for the people of our parish and as a centre for a range of local community activities.
Journeying Together with God
Our main service each week is the Sung Eucharist which takes place on Sunday mornings at 10.00am. Everyone is invited to attend, especially families. Any children who wish can take part in our special Sunday Club during the service. We also hold a number of other Prayer and Communion services through the week. For details see our Services page.
We have a modern building with full facilities located near to the centre of Peterborough. Good access is available both for cars and those on foot. Full provision is made for the disabled with entrance ramps, wide doorways, a lift and toilets.
In addition to the Church and Chapel there are two function rooms with catering and other smaller rooms suitable for meetings. Go to the Centre page for further information.
The clergy are always available to help you with matters of a personal, spiritual or moral nature. The Ministry of Reconciliation (Confession) is available on request. The clergy will gladly respond to requests for the sacrament at home, or for hospital visits.
Please contact the vicar for all enquiries about Baptisms, Banns, Weddings and Funerals. Preparation for Confirmation for adults and children is available at certain times of year, please ask for details.
The Christian Aid office for East Anglia covering Cambridgeshire, Rutland Northamptonshire, Norfolk and Suffolk is now located at St Mary's.
