New Liturgical Robes for St Matthew-in-the-City

 New Liturgical Robes. On Sunday 27 February 2022 we dedicated a new set of robes - chasubles, stoles and banners - designed by Miranda Brown. This was the culmination of a four year project. Watch the video to hear our design story. 

Here you will find the livestream of our Sunday service and an archive of previous services. During the Covid pandemic of 2020-21 on lockdown Sundays we recorded worship videos and these are here too. For daily prayer material head over to Meditation and Prayer
