Our Lady & St.Nicholas is the Anglican parish church of Liverpool - situated at the Pier Head, where a church has stood on the site since the thirteenth century
After a short service, it was a joy to hoist our new flag in the churchyard, at Liverpool's Pierhead, where there's been a church since before King Edward III made George England's patron saint.

On St George's Day at 12.15pm we bless and fly a new flag, hand sewn in Bootle for @LiverpoolParish. It bears the diocesan arms. We'll give thanks for England's patron saint, his faith and courage; sing Jerusalem; and pray for the peace and welfare of the city, nation, and world.
Easter Tuesday
I open church for Morning Prayer and am met by the heady scent of lilies and their colour, erupting all around the sanctuary, with great joy.

At the end of the Easter Vigil last night I was delighted to be asked to uncork the first bubbling bottle, kindly shared by generous parishioners, as an invitation to everyone present to celebrate the Resurrection, and six adults baptised, after a rigorous Lent. @LiverpoolParish
A busy Passion Sunday, with over 100 people in church. Sunday School worked on the Gospel reading, wedding couples came to 'Meet the Team' of those who will be involved in their weddings and pollinator plants were put in the garden to help our Eco church drive.
Pink vestments for Laertare Sunday (also a celebration of Mothering Sunday) Daffodils as well. It was fabulous to see so many people in church despite all the restrictions that had been put in place for the half marathon. We are very grateful for our very committed congregation.
This vestment was tucked away at the back of a deep drawer in the @liverpoolparish Vestry.
The embroidered motifs of the Passion were almost certainly done by a now forgotten needlewoman, and it's good to bring her art into the light again, this Lent, to the greater glory of God.
A Sermon for Commonwealth Day 2026
9th March is the annual celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations, and today @liverpoolparish welcomes people from many cultures and faiths, united by their commitment to this unique global family, and all it represents.
Today is the anniversary of the creation of the first Duke of Lancaster, in 1351.
Liverpool remains part of the ceremonial county of Lancashire, so this morning we hoisted the Duchy banner in the churchyard, flying by the Mersey.
We had the privilege of welcoming The Very Revd Canon Richard Sewell, Dean of St George's College Jerusalem to our Parish Eucharist yesterday. The sermon he preached is now available to read on our website:

Girl Guides from across Merseyside gathered @LiverpoolParish to mark their centennial Thinking Day, celebrating their founders, and the friendship Guiding has given to so many, across the world over the last century.
We recalled Christ's generous friendship, as a living exemplar.
Shrove Tuesday
Liverpool Pancake Race in the churchyard today, as chefs from hotels and restaurants in the city gave their all to receive the winner's frying pan.
2 laps, with stops for flipping and toppings.
The winner flew around in pumps, having come second last year in crocs.
