Welcome
St Mary Magdalen's is a prominent church in the centre of Oxford and whose fame spreads well beyond the city limits. It is an island of stillness amid the noise and rush of Oxford's city centre and its Anglican catholic worship combined with a lively presentation of the Christian faith have been an essential part of Oxford's Christian witness for many years. There has been a church dedicated to St Mary Magdalen on the site for a thousand years and while the centuries have changed the physical appearance of the church, it remains first and foremost a living, vibrant community offering witness in the catholic tradition as part of the Body of Christ, principally through the Eucharist and the preaching of the Gospel.
This website has been designed to explain our life and work as a parish, our history and our plans for the future as we stand at the door of our next thousand years. We hope you will find much here to interest and inspire you.
