Welcome to St Chad’s Church, Shrewsbury
Love + Holiness + Beauty + Dignity
Dear Parishioner,
We are delighted to announce the following changes to our schedules as a benefice:
From Sunday 6th June onward, for worship, both churches will be open to full COVID capacity for seating. We still strongly request you book in advance, as this allows us to make provisions that are particularly necessary given our COVID safety restrictions and guidance.

Private Prayer:
We await the government announcement on 14 June, and the subsequent guidance of the diocese before resuming daily (9 a.m.- 4 p.m.) private prayer in both churches. We will be sure to inform you as and when changes can be made to our current schedule. The current mask and distancing mandates mean a steward must be present when the church is open. With limited numbers of stewards, we have not been able to be open every day, all day.
Thankfully, through the faithful work of stewards, wardens, and PCC members, both churches are open twice a week:
Monday 11:30 a.m.- 1 p.m., St. Chad’s
Tuesday 11:00 a.m.- 1p.m., St. Alkmund’s
Wednesday 11:30 a.m.- 1 p.m., St. Chad’s
Thursday 11:00 a.m.- 1 p.m., St. Alkmund’s
Blessings to you.
Mother Pietersen
