The 4th May 2025 8.00am service is cancelled
Due to internal building works St Mary's, unfortunately, will not be open during the day until about mid May. Services are now however, taking place back in the body of the church and are also once again being streamed to our YouTube channel. Bookings for Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals are also now being taken.
Roger Sygrave RIP. The funeral and memorial service for our dear friend - and former Churchwarden of the parish - Roger Sygrave, takes place on Friday (25th April) at 1.30pm. All are welcome as we pay tribute to an extraordinary life well lived and to a lovely man and faithful servant of the church in Hemel Hempstead. May he Rest in Peace.
Death of Pope Francis. Sadly ongoing building work in St Mary’s does not allow the public access this week to pay tribute to Pope Francis. On Sunday the Pope will be remembered at services at St Mary’s and St Paul’s both by the Anglican and Roman Catholic communities that use our buildings.
The Team Rector of Hemel Hempstead, Canon John Williams issued the following statement: Pope Francis spent a wonderful life in service of the poor and marginalised in his native Argentina before being raised to high office in the church. He was a Pope like no other, continuing that work and bringing compassion and a common touch to the Vatican. Our sympathies and prayers are with our brother and sister Catholics in Hemel Hempstead and around the world at this sad time. It was wonderful to see the Holy Father celebrating Easter yesterday; what a time for him to pass into the Father’s care after such a long brave battle with illness. May he Rest in Peace.
