Welcome

St Mary’s Church is situated in the picturesque village of Whitegate in Mid Cheshire. Our main services are at 9:30 on Sunday mornings when we have a robed choir. We also have our Little Fishes Sunday School or Story Telling service, and monthly Family Services. There are many activities for the less youthful too.
