Welcome to St Mary's

 Welcome to St Mary's.
We are an inclusive Anglican church situated in a vibrant and diverse part of Brighton. We welcome all who enter our doors - and also those who simply look in out of curiosity. We strive to be representative of the community in which we are situated - whether elderly or young, partnered or single, gay, bi, lesbian, trans or straight.

The 10am Sunday service is live-streamed for people at home, at bit.ly/StMarysKT.
Many of our other services and events are also live-streamed.

The church is open for individual prayer and our regular services on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9.30am to 1pm. We're also open on Tuesday evenings at 6.30pm -7.15pm for Evening Prayer and visitors.

Our 2024 Christmas Appeal has now closed. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/StMarysChristmasJoy2024 
We raised a total of £10,050 which is an amazing result!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HUGE GENEROUSITY. The monies have been used to cover our Christmas expenses, church heating, Christmas trees, gifts for our Big Issue sellers, clothing, sleeping bags and of course our Christmas lunch where over 100 came. There is a remaining balance which we have carried forward as a designated fund towards Christmas 2025.

The Church of England’s General Synod has welcomed proposals which would enable same-sex couples to come to church after a civil marriage or civil partnership to give thanks, dedicate their relationship to God and receive God’s blessing.

​The Parish Church Council have overwhelmingly endorsed these proposals. Please contact Fr Andrew for more details if you would like to mark your special occasion with prayers and a blessing.
We have a regular service on the third Saturday of each month  at 2pm which may be an opportunity, if you wish to arrange a blessing within that service.
