The Mass, also known as the Eucharist, is the beating heart of worship at the church. The Mass is celebrated every day for the parish, the sick and suffering the community, our bishops and all faithful people. On Sunday we have hymns sung, heavenly incense and a joyful family feel. There are many opportunities to do more in our worship. You can be part of our serving team, a reader, a sidesperson, in the choir, our refreshment team…
More importantly you can simply pray with us.
Said Mass 30mins:
The Society is an ecclesial body, led by a Council of Bishops.
The parishes of The Society enjoy a relationship of full communion not only with the relevant bishop of The Society but also with all the other parishes of The Society.
Supporting The Society. Renewing the Church in the Historic Faith.
Not at all. Everyone is welcome at St Alban’s, regardless of your background, faith, or where you are in your spiritual journey. Whether you are a lifelong Christian, haven’t been to church in years, or are just curious, you are a welcome guest.
There is no dress code. On a typical Sunday, you will see people in everything from suits and traditional attire to jeans and t-shirts. Please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Absolutely! Children are a vital part of our church family. We don’t mind a bit of noise or movement during the service—it’s the sound of a growing church. We also have a dedicated area with toys and books if your little ones need a break.
Yes. The main entrance to the church is accessible for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. If you require any specific assistance, our stewards at the door will be more than happy to help.
Our Solemn Mass usually lasts about 60 to 75 minutes. It includes hymns, a sermon, and the celebration of the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Afterwards, many of us gather in the hall for tea and coffee, and we’d love for you to join us.
Baptised members of all Christian churches who are in good standing with their own tradition are welcome to receive the Sacrament. If you do not wish to receive Communion, you are very welcome to come forward for a blessing (simply keep your head bowed and cross your arms over your chest).
If your question isn’t answered here, please feel free to Contact Us directly or speak to a member of the welcome team when you arrive.
