Kersey Church and Shrine
We are with you
Life has changed over the last year.
Our faith in God and in the kindness of others has increased.
Our church is stronger than its flint and mortar. We met online throughout lockdown and we cared for others more than we have ever done - but we do care deeply for our church, for the peace and joy it brings to our souls.
Our church is open again and services have begun...
St Mary's is open every day for private prayer during daylight hours

We've spent the last three months responding to the crisis by doing so much for our communities: raising money for hospital staff welfare; making hundreds and hundreds of virtual visit telephone calls; distributing meals twice a week, keeping everyone stay connected with our four videos a week; and sadly helping many people say goodbye to their loved ones.
But we need to make sure that the church can stay open and for that we need your help. It's really simple and it's something we do together, please can you take part by making a monthly contribution? It's super easy but completely changes the prospect of your church staying open and serving the community. The government will also add 25% to your contribution if you pay tax. We can stay open with your monthly giving, thank you!

We follow the Diocesan Guidelines https://www.cofesuffolk.org/safeguarding and keep updated through regular training. Each Parish has a comprehensive Safeguarding Policy and our volunteers who work with young people or vulnerable adults are DBS checked or are in the process of being checked and receive Safeguarding training. We review the Safeguarding Policy and our safeguarding practice each year. If you have any concerns at any time about safeguarding in our parishes please contact the Vicar Rev Crompton-Battersby rev@kind.church or use the link below to report your concern directly.
