The style of worship at All Saints' is very much within the
catholic tradition of the Church of England.
This is reflected in the use of the ornaments in the church
- six candles on the High Altar, the Reservation of the
Blessed Sacrament in a Tabernacle, the wearing of vestments
and the use of incense.
However, our faith 'catholic' is not merely defined by what
we use or how we use it. It
is our liturgy which expresses the ideas we have about God,
His presence in our world and His effect upon our
witness and ministry.
The parish maintains an 'Incarnational model' of ministry
and consequently has important links with the community.
Our heritage and open days, together with our 'bring a
friend Sundays', are an opportunity for relatives and
friends to come and experience our worship and fellowship.
Mass, as the 'incarnational' sacrament, so to speak, forms
the central part of our worship, with a Solemn Mass on a
Sunday and Masses during the week.
