Special Events
ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD - 3PM THIS SUNDAY, ST GILES On 23rd June, our curate, the Revd Naomi Gardom, will be ordained a priest by the Bishop of Oxford. All are welcome to attend the ordination at St Giles Church, Oxford. Naomi will preside at the Eucharist for the first time at the 10.30am Choral Eucharist on Sunday 30th June.
BUILDING HOLINESS - 6PM WEDNESDAY 26 JUNE The architecture of St Mary’s reveals different visions of the sacredness of space, different ways in which we are encouraged to encounter God within it. Perhaps the most iconic feature is the seventeenth-century Virgin Porch. Join us to reflect on the relationship between architecture, space, and holiness in our building’s past and in our own lives today.
INTERFAITH FRIENDSHIP WALK – THURSDAY 27 JUNE This year’s Interfaith Friendship Walk will take place on Thursday 27 June, starting at the synagogue in Richmond Rd at 6.00pm and continuing via St Giles Church (6.25pm) and Radcliffe Square (7.00pm) to the Madina Mosque in Stanley Rd. Everyone is welcome and you can join at any point along the route. This is a great opportunity to meet people from other faith communities in Oxford, at a time when friendship and understanding between the faiths is more important than ever. If you can help with stewarding, please speak to Mary Lean.
