Welcome to St. Mary's Parish Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk ...

​

After a difficult few weeks for everyone, we are delighted to let you know that St Mary's will be back in action again from Sunday 6th December on the Feast of St Nicholas and the second Sunday of Advent.  We are inviting people to bring along new unwrapped toys and games for two needy family charities in Ipswich... to make their Christmas a happy one. In keeping with Covid guidelines, we would still ask please, for you to book a church place by emailing by Friday 4th December before 1pm.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Father Nigel

THE ARCHBISHOPS of CANTERBURY and YORK and a number of senior church leaders are encouraging Christians across the nation to join together in prayer throughout this month of lockdown. Christians will be encouraged to pray daily for a specific area of national concern, wherever they are, culminating into a collective moment of prayer at 6.00pm each evening, with cathedrals and churches across the country invited to ring a bell at this time. You are invited to follow a simple seven-day prayer cycle, praying for a specific area each day including the NHS and frontline workers, the bereaved, and those struggling with physical and mental ill-health, and for children and young people. Full details including the Archbishops letter can all be found on the Church of England website: churchofengland.org/PrayerForTheNation. Please also use this direct link to a simple printable prayer booklet which is for all members of the congregation - Prayer Booklet.
