Worship and Prayer at LSM
Trinitytide 2020
The church building is currently closed for major renovations but during that time services will continue to be streamed as detailed below.
Public worship will resume on Sundays from 12th July (for important information about essential pre-booking please see the details at the foot of this page).
We also hope to reopen the churchyard garden shortly, after much-needed pruning and tidying.
Meanwhile, the church herself never closes.
Morning & Evening Prayer and Mass are offered daily for and on behalf of the parish,
and some of these services are streamed live (you can also view them later) via our Facebook page.
Evening Prayer is streamed daily (except Fridays) at 6pm.
Holy Mass is streamed every Sunday at 10.30am and (subject to ongoing work) on Wednesday at 10am.
You don't need a Facebook account to follow the streaming, but if you are registered for Facebook you will be able to give us feedback on our streamed events.
You can also offer Morning and Evening Prayer daily in your home using the readings given below:
- Readings for the Daily Office & this week's Reflection
- Corpus Christi in lockdown — a meditation by Fr Andrew Hutchinson
- Latest news from the Church of England
- Spiritual Communion (poem)

Little St Mary's will reopen for limited Public Worship on Sundays from 12th July — we look forward to welcoming you back!
There will be public Low Masses at 8am, 9am and 12 noon.
The 10.30am live streamed Mass is, as before, not open to the public.
The church will be thoroughly cleaned between public services.
During the ongoing restoration and to maintain social distancing we are able to allow no more than 25 people to attend each of the three public Sunday Masses. To manage this, the Masses will be ticketed and twenty tickets to each will be available on Eventbrite up until the previous Thursday at 8pm. Five tickets to each Mass will be retained for those unable to book online and may be reserved by ringing 01223 366202 (Tuesday-Thursday only from 9am-1pm).
You can also click to follow us as a ticket provider to make it easier in future. For any questions or problems please contact the Parish Office.
Please note, you do not need to print any tickets as we will hold a list of booked attendees at the door of the church for each Mass.
