Welcome to the Parish of St. Mary’s, Hanley Castle with St. Gabriel’s, Hanley Swan. A regular gift to the churches enables us to continue the work of providing a continuing Christian presence in the villages through services in the church buildings and outreach in the community. Regular giving allows us to plan for the future ensuring the buildings are maintained and available for everyone and the clergy and lay teams have the resources to minister, not just the church community but to all the people of the parish.
Thank you for considering a regular gift to St. Mary’s and St. Gabriel’s. If you feel that the churches are an important witness to the love of God in these difficult times, please be as generous, and no more generous, than you feel able.

We are a friendly and welcoming church and active in reaching out to the local community.

We run a fun monthly craft-based group (Crafty Castles) for children and young people aged 6 - 16, an afternoon craft group for adults as well as a Women's Fellowship, a Lent Group and occasional 'Beer and Ethics' evenings.

In addition, we regularly host exhibitions for Heritage Open Days and a Nativity Exhibition during Advent and take part in Eco Church Events including Churches Count on Nature.

St Mary's Church works closely with St Gabriel's in Hanley Swan, and also St James, Welland. We also work with the other Church of England churches in the Hope Church Family.
