Whenever it happens, whether as a baby, child or adult, baptism is at the heart of an amazing journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.
Christening/Baptism
We love christenings at St Mary's.
Your child is precious to you and precious to God. You want the very best for them, and so does God. You want them to make right choices in life, for themselves and for others.
You don't have to have been christened yourself, and you don't have to have been a regular churchgoer to have your child christened.
Adult Baptism
You are never too old to take this step, and being baptised as an adult is a wonderful experience.
If you're interested in Christenings or Adult Baptism email us admin@stmarysbattle.org.uk

When someone dies, there's so much to think about and so much to organise.
We understand how difficult this can be, but we can help you say your final goodbye in a way that really helps.

Early Morning Prayer (Weekdays) 8am at St Mary’s
Every weekday morning a small group gathers in the St Catherine’s chapel for morning prayer. This quiet service includes the readings and psalms set for the day, as well as space for silent reflection and prayer before the busyness of the day begins. It lasts approximately 25 minutes. Everyone is welcome.
Do join us if you can. Also, if you are just passing, stop for a short while to pause and offer the day to God before continuing on your way.
