The Parish Church of St Mary and St Eanswythe
The Church of St Mary & St Eanswythe, with St Saviour Folkestone, exists to make Jesus Christ known in Folkestone through its worship, its fellowship and its mission. It looks to encourage its members, and the people of the community of which it is a part, to realise their full potential as children of God.
Dates for your Diary
11th October at 19.00: Revd Christopher Johnson will be licensed as Priest in Charge by Bishop Rose and the Ven Darren Miller.
17th November at 16.00: Translation of St Eanswythe’s Relics, celebrated by Fr Christopher. A once in a lifetime experience: probably the first time that a Church of England church has overseen the translation of a saint’s relics. Join us for this truly special and deeply spiritual service. Full details of the service will be confirmed nearer the time.
