The regular 10am Mass on Wednesday will be in the Keble Chapel, at nearby St Peter’s church, until further notice in 2025.The temporary change, starting on 4 December, is due to restoration work at the church's west end by stonemasons working on weekdays. The Sunday 10.45am Mass continues to be celebrated at St Stephen's.
