Join Us for Living Hope This Lent

Lent is a time of reflection, challenge, and renewal. This year at St. Mary's, we invite you to journey with us through Living Hope - a series of readings and reflections that explore how hope sustains us in times of uncertainty, frustration, and transformation.

Together, we will deepen our trust in God's presence, recognise signs of hope around us, and take part in His work of renewal.

Come and be encouraged as we walk with Jesus toward the cross and the promise of Easter. All are welcome!
