So you have found our Church web-site! Welcome to you all.

What we have tried to do is just give you a glimpse of our parish life at Saint Mary the Virgin, which has served the people of Rowner for hundreds of years (see our History page) as a place of Christian praise and worship. Our worship is dignified yet welcoming, and we hope that you will feel able to join us, either on a Sunday, or perhaps, if it suits you better, during the week. We have a wide mix of ages and backgrounds – including many children - so you will be sure to fit in.

As a parish church, we are here to serve our local community, and if you feel that we can help you or advise you in any way, then please do get in touch, either by email, or by phone or letter. If you would like one of the clergy or other colleagues to visit you in your home, then we would be delighted to do that.

If you are thinking of getting married here (or need your Banns calling if you live in the parish and are getting married elsewhere), or being baptised, then please go to our Enquiries page. Our Church Office is available for these enquiries, and our experienced team of volunteers will help you with your enquiry.
