About Us

St Mary’s the Mount is a friendly, thriving, multi-cultural Roman Catholic parish. Our Church is situated on Glebe Street in Walsall, about 5 minutes’ walk from Walsall Town Centre and train station.

The Church was opened in 1827 and is a Grade II listed building. It was the first Catholic Church of a substantial size to be built in the Midlands since the Reformation.

As you can see it is a most beautiful Church. Our Sunday Masses are on Saturday at 5.30 pm, and at 9 am and 11 am on Sunday. Weekday masses are usually at 10 am or 7 pm.

We have regular opportunities for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and Rosary before Masses. We have a varied liturgical life, with active parish participation in altar serving, reading and Eucharistic Ministry.

Our music is provided by a choir with organ and an instrumental group. Both the choir and instrumental group are always looking for new members, so please come along if you love music.

We have an active pastoral and social life in our parish. We have our own SVP and Overseas Charities Groups, supporting the needy in our local area and throughout the world. We have a weekly collection for the local food bank, and collections for charities such as CAFOD and Water Aid. We have regular social events, including refreshments after mass, quiz evenings and curry evenings.

Our Christmas Bazaar is a wonderful community event with lots of stalls and delicious food.

A highlight of our year is our multi-cultural mass at Pentecost, where we celebrate the rich diversity of our community, with participation in over twenty languages, from Asia, Africa, South America and Europe.

This is followed by a bring and share meal in our parish centre, where you can sample cuisine from all corners of the world!

Welcome to our community and to worship with us here at St Mary’s the Mount.
