Welcome to Old Saint Martin's Old Saint Martin's in the Cornmarket is a parish which stands firmly in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. Here you can expect to find dignity, order and structure in worship, orthodox theology and faithfulness to apostolic order. The Mass is at the centre of our life both for us as individual Catholic Christians and as a congregation. It is celebrated every Sunday and Solemnity, and regularly during the week (and always by a male priest). You will find details of this week's services on the right hand side of this page. Confessions are heard by appointment with one of the Parish clergy. Our church offers you good music, catholic liturgy, and preaching of a reasonable length. We try to be a welcoming congregation, and should you wish to join us please make yourself know to the clergy or the sidesmen. We also recognise that some people choose to come and worship, watch and listen in solitude, and you are welcome to do that. Please explore our site through the menu bar which you will find at the top of each page. Father Ian Pearson, Parish Priest.
