St Stephen on the Cliffs St Stephens is an inclusive church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition where you are welcome

St Stephen on the Cliffs is an Anglo-Catholic church, maintaining traditional Catholic liturgy, preaching and teaching as the Church of England has received it. St Stephen’s is home to a church family who come together throughout the week to worship God and serve Him in our local community. Our church family stretches beyond the boundaries of our parish in North Shore, Blackpool. A number of us travel from other parts of Blackpool and the Fylde to be part of our worship, outreach and social life. We welcome everyone, irrespective of faith or belief, as one of God’s children and invite all who are full members of other Christian denominations to receive communion at Mass. Anyone who attends a service is invited to come to the altar at the time of communion to receive a blessing. Service Times

An ordinary day here at St Stephen’s. We are open all day, work on the building continues, the school are in the small hall and there will be a tea dance in the large hall later and karate after that. Morning prayer has been said and evening prayer will be said later.

We have booked in the installation of our new signage for November 5th, by which point the repointing will be complete.

Poppies are available from Sunday, before and after every Sunday service and by request at other times. As usual, we will have a Requiem Mass for the fallen on Remembrance Sunday at 10.30am.

Have a blessed day and we look forward to seeing you soon.

The scaffolding is all down now, but there is a week or two of work left to do finishing the pointing and then we need to get the windows cleaned and the ground tidied up. The final piece of work is going to be the glazed brickwork around the door, which will mean we have to close the church for a day or two while it is done, but if it coincides with a weekday mass, we will use the side door, watch this space.

Once the weather has washed the brickwork down, we will get the new signage installed.

Goodness, the church seems so plain after seeing so many Greek frescos! Anyway, it is good to be back.

The scaffolding is coming down bit by bit. It’s tricky at the moment because the parts of the brickwork obscured by the scaffolding have to be pointed as it comes down and the weather is not ideal for pointing. It may take a little time. One day we will also have to close as the brickwork around the front door will need to be done at the end of the works.

We can though see out of the Baptistery windows and the Columbarium Chapel has natural light as well for the first time in months. By next spring, the grass will have grown back, we will have forgotten about the works and the inconvenience and we can start phase two!

This icon of St Stephen is found in the church of St Nicholas ‘of the roof’ - known because the whole church being so beautifully decorated, is enclosed by another church with a roof. It’s very high up in the Troodos Mountains, some two hours drive along tracks from anywhere, and we are delighted to be gifted some incense from a nearby monastery.
