A Forward in Faith Parish under the care of the Bishop of Richborough
Sir John Betjeman described St Mary's Wellingborough as the 'finest modern parish church in England' and many other writers and scholars, from Nikolaus Pevsner to Simon Jenkins, have joined Betjeman in acclaiming St Mary's as a twentieth century masterpiece. This website should provide you with a glimpse of what so entranced Betjeman and so encourage you to visit St Mary's for yourself.
From the time of its foundation St Mary's has offered a distinctive liturgical and sacramental witness in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. We hope to share with others such insights into Word and Sacrament as our tradition can afford.
We affirm the Faith of the Church as revealed in Scripture and Tradition. We proclaim our Faith through the Creeds, the Sacraments and the apostolic ministry of bishops and priests of the Universal Church. We seek a guaranteed ecclesial structure in which we can pass the Faith on to our children and grandchildren. We have a vision for unity and truth and we are going Forward in Faith.
