Life presents us all with Big Events—some the cause for celebration, some for mourning, some for reflection and deepening of faith.
What we do
Christian faith tells us that ‘love is stronger than death’
At the heart of the Christian faith is the conviction that love is stronger than death. We believe that in Jesus Christ, God’s love has overcome the power of sin, suffering, and the grave itself. This is the hope that sustains us: that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8).
For centuries, people have gathered at St Mary’s to hold on to this truth — in times of joy and in times of sorrow. It is love that binds us together as a community, love that calls us to serve our neighbour, and love that points us to the promise of life made new.
This love is our story, our hope, and our future.
