Life Events
Weddings
Many couples get married at St Mary’s and Holy Saviour each year. Whilst some live in the parish, others have one of several legal qualifying connections. Just phone the Parish Office to make arrangements to discuss whether you might fit one of these.
We can offer a warm welcome, a stunning building, exquisite flowers, excellent music and work with you to create a meaningful and beautiful service for your marriage.

Baptisms
We welcome adults or children for baptism (if you aren’t sure if you qualify, just ask!). During the christening, your child will be baptised. It’s the first step of an amazing journey with God, which for a child includes their parents, godparents, friends, and family as well as the church community as we welcome them into the membership of the church.
You don’t have to have been christened yourself, and you don’t have to have been a regular churchgoer. It is free, and usually takes place on the first Sunday of the month.

Funerals
Losing someone you love is difficult. Each person is unique in so many ways. We can help you to plan a service, whether in our church or elsewhere, that will allow you to give thanks for the particular person you knew and loved in a way that provides comfort and hope.
It is normal that, after a death, that a family will first contact a Funeral Director. The Funeral Director will then make the necessary arrangements with the Clergy, the Church and the Crematorium or Graveyard. Ashes can be buried in either of our Churchyards and a memorial stone placed in due course. A leaflet giving more details is available by contacting the Parish Office.
We also welcome you to come and pray, or to light a candle, or to join us at any of our services.
