St Goran is in a group of churches making up the Dodman Cross Benefice, serving parishes situated on the stunning coast of South Cornwall close to the towns of St. Austell and Mevagissey. Our churches are distinct in all sorts of ways but united in a benefice committed to the spiritual and pastoral needs of our small but active communities.
