Welcome to St Mary's Shortlands

Message from Revd. Gary Best

At this time we are in the middle of one of the greatest crises experienced in modern times: the spread of coronavirus.  It is my aim that, through this website, you can be kept up to date with all the latest news affecting life here at St Mary's, and you can find links to other relevant sites.

Our worship of God and our care for each other continue here at St Mary's and whilst we cannot be together in person we are still able to join together in prayer and worship.

You can see a Holy week update from Revd Gary Best here

If you are aware of anyone within our community who may be in self-isolation, unwell or alone during these challenging times, St Mary's has a team of people available to provide both pastoral and practical support to those that need it.  If we can help in any way, please email the vicar, vicar@stmaryshortlands.church, or phone on 020 8460 0262.  Please leave a message if your call isn't answered straight away.

Love and blessings
