A place to belong in the heart of Paddington

Welcome, we're really glad you're here.

St Mary Mags began in 1865, planted from All Saints, Margaret Street. In 2019 we teamed up with Grand Junction to repair and extend the building, ensuring it's fit to serve the community around us. We have always and will aways have heart for the community on our doorstep. So, however you turn up, you're welcome here. No exceptions.

We hold four core values: an intelligent approach to the explanation of what we believe; to be a community shaped by the power and direction of the Spirit; we are on a journey towards becoming genuinely diverse, and to include all people regardless of sexual identity.

Simply, we want St Mary Mags to be a place where everyone can belong.

Come along on a Sunday for our 10am Traditional Mass, or if you fancy something quieter midweek, join us for Evening Prayer on Thursdays at 5.30pm.

You can also sign up for our next newcomers' lunch a relaxed chance to meet Kirstine and the leadership, share what we're about, and chat through what being part of St Mary Mags could look like for you.

Services at St Mary Mags

Sundays here are relaxed, warm, and about an hour long with refreshments after.  Our Eucharistic Mass has an informal liturgy you can join with as you feel comfortable, the same goes for the worship.

Our church cafe is open before and after services if you want to grab a pastry or lunch.

Kids are always welcome, noise and all, we’ve got activity packs and toys on hand. However you turn up, there's a place for you here.

Need a quiet moment midweek?

Join us for Evening Prayer every Thursday at 5.30pm — just 20 relaxed minutes of prayer to reset

Giving

St Mary Mags relies on giving by its congregation to fund everything it does.

We believe that everything we have comes from God, and we want to do what he wants with all areas of our lives, including our money. Through his provision and the generosity of our church family, we're able to serve our community and beyond. Every gift is gratefully received, none too big or small.

Thank you for your generosity!
