Our Vicar: Mother Alice Jolley
Mother Alice read Theology at Durham University before training for ordination at Westcott House, Cambridge. She served her curacy in the City of Lincoln before moving to the Diocese of St Albans. Alice is currently reading for an LLM in Canon Law at Cardiff University, and is interested in the intersection between Ecclesiastical Law and the mission of the Church. She also enjoys walking, reading novels, making music, and cooking for a crowd. She shares her life with her partner, Coral, and their greyhound, Fernando.
Apsley Community Cafe at St Mary’s operate a foodbank.
St Mary’s has a free foodbank, open every Monday from 12.30 to 2.00pm and Thursday from approx 10am to 12 noon. So anyone (of any creed or none) in need of food is very welcome to pop into our refectory at the back of the church to ask for what they need at that time. There are also free refreshments available and very simple hot food. No vouchers are required.
Donations of non perishable goods (which are most welcome!) can be left on Thursdays at the church or else at any time at Dunelm Mill who very kindly give their services to support this initiative.

Safeguarding @ St Mary’s
As part of the Diocese of St. Albans in the Church of England, we are committed to safeguarding as an integral part of the life and ministry of the Church. This means taking action as a church to promote a safer culture where the welfare of children, young people and adults is paramount, to prevent abuse occurring, to protect those at risk and to respond well to those that have been abused. We will always take care to identify where a person may present a risk to others, and act accordingly.
