This website is just one of the ways we help St. Mary's fulfil
its mission as the parish church for Thorpe Village in the wider context of local and national life, and international life
as expressed over the internet.
For the moment the site is in an experimental stage. The compilers would welcome
any suggestion as to ways of improving the information given in its pages.
If this is your first contact with us at St. Mary's, please let us know through the
following link, or join us at one of our services, social functions, and entertainments. We look forward to meeting you and making
your acquaintance.

Baptisms, Weddings, and Funerals
These are often the first points of contact with many parishioners, particularly
those new to the area. If you would like to discuss plans for a baptism,
wedding, or funeral, you can meet with members of the parish staff who are available every Friday evening,
between 6.30 p.m. and 7.30 p.m., either in the Church or the Rutherwyke Room (situated behind the church).
In the case of funerals, and sudden emergencies, one of the parish
staff will call as soon as possible after they have been informed.
The main church action in these events takes place around the East end
of the Nave and before the Chancel Arch, pictured below.
