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 two Churches in our combined community, with one Parish Priest covering both. Everyone is welcome to join us at any of our Services or events in New Mills or Marple Bridge.
- HOLY WEEK AND EASTER MASS TIMES: On Maundy Thursday, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper will be at Marple Bridge at 8.00pm. On Good Friday, there will be Stations of the Cross at
New Mills at 2.00pm, followed by the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion at 3.00pm (also at New Mills). The Easter Vigil will be held at New Mills at 8.00pm; on Easter Sunday, there will be Mass at New Mills at 9.30am and 11.30am at Marple Bridge.
