Hall Hire
Our hall is not available for hire at the moment.
When it is, we shall publish details of how to book.
In the meantime, nobody is able to arrange hall bookings and we are not taking any deposits at this time.
Coronavirus Covid-19
The Vaccinaton centre which previously ran in the church hall ceased operation in December 2022. Vaccines will be available at the Cedars Surgery in Swanley on Saturdays, you need to contact them for further details.
Church Services
If you have any cough, flu, cold or symptoms of other transmissable diseases then you should not attend church or any other gathering: keep your germs to yourself!
Of course, faithful Christians should be seeking to ensure they have a prayer life which routinely engages them in saying sorry for their sins, adoring our Creator, giving thanks for our Saviour and kindling the fire of the Holy Spirit within us all. This prayer life may be nourished by joining online acts of worship or through attending less 'busy' services during the week.
St Mary's offers one Mass for a Sunday, which is sung, at 10am
and Evening Prayer at 5pm.
The Sunday evening service is Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer in the Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter seasons, and Vespers from the Roman Breviary during Ordinary Time.
The Church Hall is closed at present and we do not have a date for its reopening.
Mass is usually celebrated on Sundays at 10am and then from Tuesday to Saturday:
Tuesday, 7pm
Wednesday, 11.30am
Thursday, 10am
Friday, 11am
Saturday, 10am
In the period between Christmas and New Year, the Mass is celebrated at 10.30am on weekdays with the usual Sunday Mass at 10am.

Safeguarding
Making sure the whole Church family is safe is an important part of what we do at St Mary's. Full details can be found here.
Daily Prayers
A useful rule of life can involve the saying of prayers each day when we wake and before we go to sleep. These prayers don't have to be long, in a set form or use big words. Some people find a daily routine helps them and others do prefer having a set of prayers which they know other Christians throughout the world are using. One such resource is called Universalis and on this site you'll find prayers for the whole day - along with the readings used at Mass - which are shared by Christians throughout the world.
We are a family of faith
