 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
