Lama Chopa and Tsog Offering (Guru Puja)

Lama Chopa (also known as Guru Puja) is a practice of guru devotion special to the Gelugpa tradition. During this practice, the lamas of the graduated path lineage beginning with Shakyamuni Buddha himself, are invoked, extending to present direct teachers who have shown the path. Practitioners pay homage, make offerings, and request each of them to please bless their minds with the same realizations that they themselves have generated. By offering sincere, heartfelt requests, students make their minds ripe to receive the full blessings of this precious lineage and quickly actualize the realizations they need to attain enlightenment. If you wish to experience realizations quickly, the practice of Lama Chopa is indispensable. The benefits of the practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: Practicing this Guru Puja, which is an integration of the three deities, makes it much easier to achieve enlightenment in a brief life of this degenerated time. Doing this practice every day, with purification and many infinite skies of merit, brings the mind closer to the path to enlightenment and closer to enlightenment itself, and so much closer to freeing all sentient beings from obscurations and suffering and leading them to enlightenment.

Parish Mass (Eucharist) [Children Friendly]

Our main act of worship each week is a lively celebration of the Eucharist (Mass). We sing hymns, hear the word of God in Scripture, reflect together in our sermon, we pray for people and situations, celebrate the Eucharist, feed on Christ in the bread and wine of his Body and Blood, and are sent out in to our community as Christ’s body to share the love we have received with those around. Children are invited to play a full part in the service, and gather together for noisy church during school term time (with a parent for their first session or if under Reception age). Children are always welcome in Church during our services, and an area of activities is available at the back of Church. Refreshments are served after the service. Do say hello if it’s your first Sunday with us or you’re visiting for the first time. All welcome!

10am Sunday Mass

[caption id="attachment_5372" align="alignnone" width="300"] Mass at St Mary's during the Pandemic.[/caption] The main act of worship for Christians is the Sunday Mass. During the Pandemic, a cantor sings hymns and we keep 2 metres distance so we are COVID secure: masks are to be worn. The Bible is read and a sermon preached exploring some aspect of our life as Christians and the God who calls us. Mass offered and Holy Communion given. It's a reminder of the beauty of the worship offered by the Saints and Angels in Heaven.

To Re-Cite: Ayat al-Kursi - Sound, Faith, and Collective Listening

We warmly invite you to a workshop as part of the wider development of our newly co-commissioned project with artist Aliaskar Abarkas, exploring sound, music, and listening through faith and collective experience. The session brings together members of our community with Muslim backgrounds to share ideas, and reflections on how sonic practices – from recitation and prayer to breath, rhythm, and silence – shape spiritual, emotional, and communal life. The starting point of the project is the Quranic verse Ayat al-Kursi, whispered across generations, transmitted as both lullaby and sonic protection. This session is the first in a series of workshops forming part of a longer-term project. Further confirmed sessions will take place on: Sun 26 Apr, Sun 17 May, and Sun 31 May. Aliaskar Abarkas is an Iranian artist based in London. Rooted in alternative and communal art education, his practice stages choreographic encounters that move from individual elements into collective expression. Often in dialogue with historical sources, Abarkas builds collaborative frameworks that invite participants to interpret and activate inherited scores through music, exhibition, and performance-making. He is currently an Associate Artist at Sadler’s Wells / Rose Choreographic School (London, 2024–26) and Lead Artist at Autograph Gallery (Acts of Solidarity, in partnership with All Change, London, 2025–28).
