    ANNUAL VESTRY MEETING & ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING

    Coronavirus Update
    St Mary the Virgin Church Silchester re-opened on Easter Day and will remain open every day thereafter for private prayer. We will be reinstating Sunday services although different from the past (see Service Updates). For covid reasons, for the time being, there can be no congregational singing, or bells, and because of social distancing, depending on social bubbles a limit on the number of people who can attend to about 30, so please come early and don’t be offended if unfortunately you have to be turned away. We are looking forward to returning to church, but at the same time will miss the friendship, informality and convenience! of the Zoom service. We will continue therefore to relay all 10.00am church services on Zoom, but on the 3rd Sunday. 

    The link to our Zoom Service is announced in the 'Church and Parish news' mailings. The team at St Mary’s Silchester would like to share Church and Parish news with our friends in Silchester and beyond and invite you to  Click here to add your name to the mailing list.  The Parish Magazine is available online.
