A short service of Morning Prayer in the Lady Chapel

All are welcome to this thirty-minute service, offered as a quiet chance to pray and receive Holy Communion during the week.

The evening service on Maundy Thursday is well worth venturing out late for. We commemorate the events of the Last Supper, when Jesus commissioned the disciples to share bread and wine in remembrance of him. So Maundy Thursday is the reason we meet Sunday by Sunday for the Eucharist; it’s where it all started. The service also commemorates Christ washing the disciples’ feet and giving the “new commandment” to love one another. Though the disciples later abandoned Jesus, we are invited to watch and pray for a time after the service – for however long you would like – in the presence of Christ in the Lady Chapel, where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved.

Good Friday commemorates Jesus’s death. At St Peter and St Mary Magdalene, we are blessed with beautiful Stations of the Cross, and we’ll reflect on each of these at 12 noon. Meditations on the Seven Last Words of Jesus will follow at 1pm, and then the Solemn Liturgy from 2 to 3pm. You are welcome to attend any part of the service.

We gather to bring in Easter and celebrate Holy Communion

Our main Parish Mass is at 10:30am on Sundays. The service is 'modern catholic' in style: traditional, accessible, and friendly. We aim for an atmosphere of relaxed formality; no one stands on ceremony. So there's no need to dress up specially (unless you'd like to) - feel free to come as you are. 😊 Tea and coffee are served afterwards.
