St Mary’s Guild
St Mary’s Guild is a devotional group that aims to serve a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Incarnation of our Lord that resonates with the Christian tradition as Anglicans have received it. The Guild has various gatherings throughout the year, all of which have worship as a major component. Evening liturgies are followed by a talk that focuses on some aspect of theology and devotion that is relevant to the group’s aim.
