Our Lady & St.Nicholas is the Anglican parish church of Liverpool - situated at the Pier Head, where a church has stood on the site since the thirteenth century
Chapel Street, Liverpool
Joined September 2014
Just to be clear to the two or three people who follow Church of England politics, Liverpool Parish Church will have no part in blessing 'covenanted friendships'. We will, however, bless your marriage, whether that is to someone of the same or the opposite sex.

Please ignore anything you read in the press about @churchofengland & civil partnerships. Instead come to our 'Early Valentine' choral service at 6pm on 2 Feb. We don't care if you are gay, straight, married, single, CP-ed, etc., we'll still offer you a glass of wine afterwards.

A lighted Liver bird keeps watch over our tower tonight- and we’ll continue to pray for and offer practical help to our city as we enter our latest period of lockdown. In the midst of it all- you, we, are not alone. #Liverpool

In line with the Church of England’s advice we are suspending all public worship until further notice. Church will, however, remain OPEN. For prayer, for food bank donation, for those needing an oasis of calm. Pray for us- we’ll be praying for all of you.

The Bishops have asked that we ring our bells at 6pm- and so Fr Fergus has done so this evening whilst praying the Angelus, that ancient prayer honouring the Incarnation- to remind that we are here for Liverpool in the midst of the pandemic and that God is here with, and for, us.

Following the example of churches across the land, with a very heavy heart, we‘re shutting our church building until further notice. Until we reopen (which we will) here’s our window with inscription:.‘I will build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.’

This is profiteering. If you are in Liverpool @LivDiocese then we can promise that no church will charge you £700 for a memorial service. Just ring your local priest for a chat.
Can't really believe I'm reading this, but it seems @CoopFuneralcare are offering memorial services for families who lost a loved one during lockdown, for £700. If this is you, please, please get in touch with your parish priest and save yourself £700.

The Eucharist continues, attended not by the children of men but by myriad saints and angels and gazed upon by Rectors of Liverpool past- testament to the 800 years of Christian worship in this site, and in anticipation of at least 800 more.

The bishops have made themselves gatekeepers for a change in the law. We condemn all who perpetuate institutional and structural homophobia in our society. We recognize loving and faithful commitment between same sex couples to be marriage.
