The church is now open daily for private prayer as follows: Weekdays and Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm. Sundays, 12 noon to 4pm.
Public worship is now temporarily suspended at St Mary's with immediate effect. A request from East Sussex County Council for services to be suspended in East Sussex, coupled with the rapid spread of the new strain of virus and the huge pressure on our hospitals, caused us to review our service pattern.
The Sunday Parish Eucharist will now be at 10am on Zoom as will the 11am Tuesday service. Please contact the office if you would like an email invitation. >> click here
We hope and pray this will be a short term measure, but the good news is that the church will continue to be open daily for private prayer from 10am to 4pm.
Thank you for your patience and perseverance in the face of all these changes and we look forward to seeing you all as soon as this is possible. Please go to our what's happening page to see our PDF documents

You are very
warmly welcomed to St Mary’s, a Christian community at the heart of
Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex. People come to St Mary de
Haura for all sorts of reasons:
-
For quiet time in the
presence of God and to pray and worship.
-
For services,
activities and events, which you can find out about from our magazine and our
website.
-
To enjoy the
architecture and beauty of the building and to explore its history.
-
To re-visit the
church where they were baptised or married, or perhaps sang in the choir or
were a bell ringer.
-
To
talk or just be with God when there is nowhere else to go.
It is a
great privilege that so many people come here for so many reasons; from joyful
occasions, to those times when we turn to God in despair, and those times when
we are asking questions about faith.
So whatever
your reason for being here, welcome, and we hope to see you again.
The
church is open daily from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm and our main Sunday Service is at
10.00 am.
If you want to speak to someone
please do phone.
Yours in
Christ,
Ann
