The Parish
The Parish of St Michael’s St Albans with St Mary’s Childwickbury offers you a warm welcome. For over a thousand years the people of St Michael’s Village (now part of the city of St Albans) have come to this holy place to worship and pray, to bring their hopes and joys, and their fears and sorrows. Throughout the ages the sacraments of the Church have been celebrated, strengthening the people of God and supporting them on their pilgrimage through life. We hope and pray that you, too, may find in this place the peace of God and the assurance of His presence. The church has an outstanding choral and liturgical tradition and is open daily. Our main weekly service is at 9:30am on Sunday, and we welcome visitors of all ages.
