Welcome to the Website of

A VERY WARM WELCOME

to the Parish of 

St Mary the Virgin, Stanwell and St Matthew, Ashford.  

We stand within the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, seeking to respond faithfully to the Gospel message in our own age. We seek to be an inclusive and welcoming Christian community, imposing no conditions on those who come through our doors other than a willingness to be open to the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ.

We are under the episcopal care of Bishop Jonathan Baker SSC, Bishop of Fulham. 

St Mary’s and St Matthew’s as part of the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the body of Christ, seek to take seriously  and act intentionally upon the mission Christ 

gave to that Church:

“Go, therefore, and make

disciples of all nations.”
Matthew 28:19
