St Mary de Crypt is once again available as a quiet space in the heart of the city. Come in to say a prayer or simply sit and reflect a little. All are welcome.
Holy God, as we open our doors and welcome in those who will come may we recognise you among them. As we make our churches safe to enter and care for those who come may we recognise you as our strong defence. As we say our prayers and light our candles may we recognise you in the midst. As we resume our life may we recognise you as our life today, tomorrow and always. Amen
If you have any prayer requests, please send them to [email protected]
