It is with great sadness that I must announce the PCC and the congregation of St Albans, Upper Ventnor have decided that the legal officer positions needed to be covered to keep the church open, cannot be matched. Therefore, the decision to stop using St Albans as a place of worship was taken and voted unanimously to close the doors. I will now take it up with the diocese for guidance. I would like thank you all for your support over the time I have served there.
Please join us for coffee and chat after Mass.
