OUR MINISTRY TO TOURISTS AND VISITORS - could you spare a couple of hours each week?
Every day visitors from all over the world visit St Mary Abbots. Our team of church watchers extends them a warm welcome. At St Mary Abbots it’s our privilege to keeping our church open every day of the year, an extraordinary resource valued by so many who come in to pray, to give thanks, to find help in despair. But this is only possible thanks to our team of CHURCHWATCHERS. We now have serious gaps in this provision and we are eager to find people who will commit to a couple of hours once a week, once a fortnight, once a month. Contact the Virger 020 7937 5136 we’re always looking for new volunteers. |

We are transforming St Mary Abbots Church, so it can continue to support the heart of Kensington for generations to come. Once we have built the kitchen and toilets (including disabled and baby changing facilities) the church will be a more comfortable place to worship, a more welcoming place to visit and a practical place to gather the Kensington community.
Our magnificent font will be repaired and re-positioned, as befits the importance of baptism and the prominent role of children within our church. An area will be cleared, creating opportunities to gather after services and an accessible, single level, space for use by other groups in the Kensington community. We will also create a glass lobby at the West Door, keeping the wooden doors open, bringing in daylight and showing our doors are open to all.
