MAC St. Michaels

Welcome to the Monmouth Marches Ministry Area Website

IMG

Today's Monmouth Marches Ministry Area inherits a thousand years and more of Christian history. Our churches are ancient centres of worship and 21st century resources for our communities. Some have been reshaped by generous Victorians. Others remain simple chapels built for monks before Henrey VIII dissolved the monasteries. All are beautiful in their different ways. Please visit them and share in their beauty and peace when you can: access can be arranged by using the places page on this website. And we have created video tours of some of them, which you can find on the resources page of this website.
