Perhaps founded by St. Indract more than a thousand years ago the Church is steeped in history and is a great witness to the thousands of Christians who have lived and worked in the Parish of Tamerton Foliot from before the time of the Doomsday Book right up to the 21st Century.
Still a thriving Church to this day, St. Mary's has something for everyone and has services to suit all tastes from traditional prayer book communions and sung evensong through to modern family services, Joyful Praise Services and Messy Church. Our Parent and Toddler Group meets on Thursday mornings from 10am - 11.30am during school term times. A Housegroup meets on Tuesday evenings from 7.30pm during school term time for informal discussions. The next meeting is on Tuesday 19th November 2019. The Oasis Youth Group for ages 11 -15 meets on alternate Tuesdays in the Church Hall from 5.30pm - 7pm during school term time. They next meet on 10th December. For further details of any of these groups please contact us. Our Safeguarding Officer is Sara Grier - sara.grier@sky.com - who ensures that we comply with all the necessary legislation and policies laid down by the Diocese of Exeter to help protect our young people and vulnerable adults. A copy of our Parish Safeguarding Policy can be found here. Come along and join us here at St. Mary's, whether you are a resident of Tamerton Foliot or a visitor to the area. |
