Welcome to the Church of St Mary, Harrow on the Hill:
a place of peace and prayer for all people for over 900 years.
Hello!
Welcome, and thank you for visiting us.
St Mary's Church has been ministering to the community of Harrow for over 900 years. Today, St Mary's is not only Harrow's most recognisable landmark; we also remain a lively presence in what has become the most religiously diverse borough in the UK. With this in mind, our Peace Chapel is open daily, as a special space for people of any faith or none to use for prayer and meditation.

Prayer for the Feast of the Epiphany
O God, who by the leading of a star manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: mercifully grant that we, who know you now by faith, may at last behold your glory face to face, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
