St Mary’s Wooler

A beautiful tranquil space in the busy town of Wooler

St Mary’s Church dates from 1764 and was extended in 1913 with the addition of the chancel. The building contains some notable Victorian windows in the nave, and some exceptionally fine 20th century stained glass in the sanctuary. Many items in the church are gifts in memory of particular people, or events, and make for an interesting discovery of social history.

Sunday services 

10.00am – Holy Communion (1st, 2nd and 3rd Sundays) – Our main act of worship with hymns and refreshments after the service.

10.00am – Service of the Word (4th Sunday only) – A short lay-led service with hymns and refreshments after the service.

Wednesday

10.00am – Holy Communion – An opportunity to take time out in the midst of the busy week. Refreshments after the service.

Other services and activities are published on the church notice boards and on the weekly information sheet. For those members not able to attend worship Holy Communion is taken to them at home.

Enquiries concerning baptism, and confirmation should be made to the Vicar.

We welcome marriage enquires or a Service of Blessing for those who have chosen civil registry for their wedding. Funerals and memorial services are organised in consultation with the family of the deceased. Interment is available at St Mary’s Churchyard, Burnhouse Road.

A priority of pastoral work is given to those persons in need, sickness or adversity. The congregation at St Mary’s are making their Christian Pilgrimage through life, and regularly gather to learn of the Apostle’s teaching, to speak the prayers of the church, to break bread, and to share in fellowship. Our mission is to preach the Kingdom of Heaven in this parish and beyond. Our hope is for Heaven.
