Holy Week is the most important week of the Church’s year. We walk with Jesus from the triumph of the entry to Jerusalem, through the intimacy of the Last Supper, and the desolation of his death on the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Please join in this week as fully as you are able, praying that God will bring this story alive in your life today. Download our Holy Week Booklet.

Mary Kilikidi. It was recently announced in churches that Mary Kilikidi is to join the Team as Curate in the summer.
Mary is Russian of Greek heritage and she spent most of her adult life in Russia. She studied theology and philosophy in Moscow prior to moving to Devon in 2021. In 2022 she started her training at Westcott House. Coming from Orthodox and Lutheran traditions, Mary is interested in ecumenism and hopes to use her knowledge and experience in her ministry. Mary is passionate about inclusion and has done some work in this field at her church attachment in Cambridge. Another passion of hers is trauma theology and learning the ways of how a church community can become trauma-informed and how it can serve those who have experienced trauma. Mary co-authored a liturgical book for trauma-informed and trauma-oriented worship which is expected to be published in summer 2025. In her free time Mary likes travelling and is interested in photography and history. Mary is excited about serving as a curate at Merton Priory and is looking forward to serving the community.
