St Mary's on Penkridge
Penkridge is the largest village in St Mary’s Parish and is served from St Mary's Brewood.
Most of the following information was originally given before the pandemic and we are hoping it will re-commence soon. The main difference now is that, until further notice, all parishes Masses are celebrated at St Mary's church, Brewood.* .
Before the pandemic Mass was celebrated Mass each Sunday at the Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels and are welcomed there by the Anglican Communion.
We normally have a well-attended Mass and has a Children’s Liturgy that is led and supported by parents. After Mass as the people were going out we would meet the Anglicans coming in for their 10.30 service. We'd spend as much time talking to them as we do mixing with each other! This was in keeping with the many things we do together. We normally have a number of religious events throughout the year, like the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, the Women’s World Day of Prayer and the afternoon of Prayer and Praise at Pentecost. And we are represented at the Churches Together Committee Meeting were held usually at the Methodist Centre.

HCPT is a national organisation and registered charity. It has a local group, Group 16, which normally takes children with special needs to Lourdes for a week each year. It is led by parishoners from Penkridge and supported by our parish. We normally hold Car Boot and Table Top sales to raise money for the charity and people are very generous in their support. One stall holder on Penkridge Market has let us use his stall during the close season to sell donated goods.
Our ministry is to serve the people of Penkridge as well as contributing to the parish life of St Mary's in Brewood.
