St Mary's Church, Somers Town

SUNDAYS
Exposition and Benediction
At 5pm on Sundays, we spend a gentle half-hour with Jesus, as he comes to us in love in the Blessed Sacrament. In prayer, hymns, contemplation and silence, we honour our Saviour, whose loving Presence blesses our lives and gives us the strength to recognise him in the lives of those around us.

Winter Night Shelter
In the winter months, St Mary’s joins with other churches in the area to host C4WS, a local charity providing shelter for the homeless, as well as assistance in finding work and permanent housing. A dedicated team of volunteers from across the four churches in our parish assist C4WS providing company and good food to those in need. It is a great joy to support guests from across Britain, Europe and the world.

The Magdalen Club (this is not happening at present, but we hope to continue with it when the covid situation lessens) 
Named after the Magdalen College Mission, which came to St Mary’s in 1908, the Magdalen Centre recalls the parish’s longstanding commitment to the local community and provides a space for our ongoing ministry. On Tuesdays mornings, Mass is followed by coffee and conversation. We then host Somers Town’s over-50s for an afternoon of bingo, raffles, tea and fellowship. The hall is regularly used by local people, and community-oriented groups such as London Citizens.

Mums, Dads and Tots (due to lack of funds we are currently unable to host this ministry. We are engaged in seeking charitable funds to enable this important service to the community to carry on)
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 1 and 3pm the Magdalen Centre hosts a drop-in for young families from the local area. This involves a great variety of supervised play and craft activities for toddlers in a friendly atmosphere in which where and carers can relax and meet new friends.
