ST MARY'S CHURCH IS OPEN TO VISITORS EVERY DAY
A message from
Rev'd Kia Pakenham,
Rector of the
Leith Hill United Benefice
Dear Friends,
Welcome to St Mary's website!
We are currently in vacancy, praying for our new Associate Vicar who we hope will be joining us shortly.
As Rector of the Leith Hill Benefice I am here to offer you a warm welcome to this beautiful church and our wonderful community.
The main aims of the website are to give you a flavour of what we are about as a church and to provide information about services and upcoming special events, as well as helping those enquiring about weddings, baptisms or funerals.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want to know more or would value prayer for something or someone - we'd love to hear from you.
With every blessing,
Rev'd Kia

St Mary's, the parish church of Holmbury St Mary, is a beautiful place to seek and know God.
Holmbury church is not, though, just a building; it is a community of worshippers who are here to serve each other, the Holmbury parish and the world beyond in witness to the Christian faith.
St Mary's offers friendship, fellowship and support throughout the village and further afield, not just for those who come to services but for everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation and belief.
If you would like to find out more, please contact one of our churchwardens or Rev'd Kia.
