Welcome to St Mary’s!

We are the Parish Church of Princes Risborough in Bucks, and a Church where everyone matters, and all are welcome.

Our mission statement is “Sharing the Love of Christ with All”. In everything we do we seek to express this purpose, living by biblical principles, and mindful of Jesus’ Great Commission to his Church to “Go and make disciples”.

We are a vibrant and growing church, offering a variety of styles of worship each Sunday. I hope you will join us in the near future.

Safeguarding

Our parish of Princes Risborough with Ilmer is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Oxford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO, Tony Eccleston [safeguarding@stmarysrisborough.org.uk] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [safeguardingreferrals@oxford.anglican.org]. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
