St Mary's

Welcome. St Mary's vision is to grow a welcoming and inclusive church for the whole community and the whole of life.

Our parish covers part of both the Marshalswick and Jersey Farm areas of St Albans.

St Mary's is a Church of England parish church, located in Marshalswick, St Alban's; opposite the Quadrant shopping area. Our worship is Eucharistic and Central Church in its tradition and we are a member of Inclusive Church.

The Church building is open every day and our hall provides a meeting place for several groups.

We welcome enquiries about baptism, confirmation and marriage. 

We are here in difficult times: to offer prayers for those in need; to help with the planning and leading of funerals in church, at the Crematorium or Cemetery.
