Welcome to the Parish Church of Saint Michael and All Angels with Saint James, Croydon. Please enjoy browsing our website; we hope you will find it both interesting and helpful.
On this page you will find details of our daily services, and also a map and transport information to help you find the church.
See the Church Directory page for details of our clergy and officers and the calendar for the year. This is where to look for addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and useful web links.
The section on Church Life gives information about our pastoral ministry, forthcoming social events and the government of the church (the Parochial Church Council, Deanery, Diocesan and General Synod). There is also information about the meaning and purpose of the vestments, lights, incense and other symbols we use to enhance our public worship.
Visit our Events page to see what happening at St. Michael's.
As music plays such an important part in the worship at St. Michael's, there is a separate section devoted to the music ministry. This has information about the choir, the organ and choral scholarships available to young people, and a monthly list of the music to be sung at Solemn Mass and at Solemn Evensong. The historic Father Willis organ is also featured and there are details of the regular lunchtime organ recitals and other concerts performed in the church.
St. Michael and All Angels Church has been described as an 'Island of Faith' surrounded on all sides by Croydon's greater god - business and commerce! See the section on the Catholic Faith to learn what and why we believe, and about the Sacraments of the Church. There are also some prayers Furnishings or you to use in your own private devotions.
Church affiliated organisationshave not been forgotten. These add an extra dimension to our lives and encourage and support us in our faith. Find out about the St. Michael's Singers, the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, our local cell of Our Lady of Walsingham, the Cell of The Mother of God (Theotokos) and Forward in Faith.
