VISITORS Visitors are most welcome to St. Nicholas of Myra. Every weekday morning we have Mass or Eucharistic Service between 10am and 10.30am. On Sunday Mass is celebrated at 11.30am. These are times of prayer, so we ask you not to visit during this time. We recommend you sanitise your hands as you enter the church and if you wish to, feel free to wear a mask. The church is open most mornings at 9.30am and closes at 12 noon. On Saturday evening the church is open from 4.30pm before the 6pm mass. On Sunday the church opens at about 10am. It is possible to visit before the 11.30am mass. The church closes after that mass. THE ST. NICHOLAS SIDE CHAPEL As well as the main body of the church, we have the small St. Nicholas Chapel, which is to the right of the altar. Unfortunately it is not possible to visit at the present moment due to COVID-19. Inside there is a beautiful Harry Clarke stained glass window, depicting the marriage of Mary and Joseph. There is also a new Icon of St. Nicholas of Myra commissioned specially for the side chapel. To get a sense of this and other parts of the church click here. HISTORY The present church was built between 1829 and 1834. However there has been a religious settlement on this site for many centuries. To learn a little more about our history click here. PARKING If you have come by car, you are welcome to park in the church yard for the duration of your visit. However once your visit has concluded you should remove your car. The church closes at 12noon most days, and if you leave your car in the church yard it may not be possible to retrieve it until the next day. DONATIONS There is no charge for visiting our church. But we do welcome donations. As a listed building maintenance costs are significant. There is a box at the top left side of the church where you can make a donation or if you prefer to use the tap and go machine on the left at the rear of the church. THANK YOU We do hope you will enjoy your visit and that you may also be able to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of our church. May we thank you in advance for keeping to the times for visiting.
