St. Mary's Community Cafe

On the third Saturday of every month, between 10:00am and 12:00pm, our Community Cafe is hosted in our Parish Centre. This is one of the important ways we help the community and people of Dover.

This pop-up cafe is open to everyone and there's a lovely range of cooked and non-cooked breakfast foods available.

The Community Cafe operates on donations and the goodwill of those who join us, so you can make a donation, great or small, for any items you'd like on the day - there are no fixed prices. It also means if you're unable to make a donation, you can still have a nice drink and something to eat.

You'll find lots of options available, including:

Cakes made by and donated by volunteers
Bacon rolls
Cereals
Fruit
Tea
Coffee
Soft drinks

All donations received mean we can continue to offer this volunteer-run service for the community of Dover and we also put donations to local charities such as the Dover Food Bank and Pantry.

So come and join us in helping our work to support the community of Dover.

Service times at
St Mary's, Dover

We extend a very warm welcome to you to come and join us for one of our services.

If you like (or want to discover more about) traditional Anglican music and worship, then St Mary's is the place for you. In the first chapter of the gospel of John, the apostle Philip says to Nathaniel, "Come and See", and that is the simple invitation we offer to you today.

Sunday worship:

On the first, third, fourth and fifth Sundays of every month, we have a sung Eucharist service, led by our Clergy and robed choir. This service starts at 10.45am and lasts about an hour.
On the second Sunday of every month, we have a Sung Matins service, led by our Clergy and robed choir. This also starts at 10:45am.
All our Sunday services are followed by coffee in the Parish Centre.

Choral evensong:

On the fourth Sunday of the month, we have a traditional choral evensong service (except for April, August and December). This service starts at 6:00pm and lasts about an hour. We also host an evensong and supper on a quarterly basis and everyone is invited to join us for supper after the service (donations towards the supper are gratefully received).

Wednesday worship:

Every Wednesday, we have a short Holy Communion service at 10am lasting for 30 minutes. This is followed by coffee in the Parish Centre.
