Welcome to St Mary’s Parish
- This site describes our efforts to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the 21st Century.
- We are a Catholic Community, spread over a wide area of the Goyt Valley at the gates of the picturesque Peak District, attached to the Catholic Diocese of Nottingham. There are at present two Churches in our combined community, with one Parish Priest covering both, though the church in Marple Bridge is scheduled to close after Easter this year.
