St Mark's

Welcome to Our ParishSt. Mark's Roman Catholic Parish with Holy Family Brantham is a vibrant and welcoming community of faith. We are a parish of two churches, St. Mark's in Ipswich and Holy Family in Brantham. We are part of the Diocese of East Anglia.Our website is currently being updated. Please check back soon for more information.Pilgrims of Hope 2025 is the theme for the Catholic Church’s Jubilee Year, a sacred time of renewal, grace, and encounter with God. Guided by the words of Pope Francis, the Jubilee invites all the faithful to journey together as “pilgrims of hope,” seeking deeper faith, reconciliation, and unity in a world marked by uncertainty and division. It is a call to rediscover the beauty of mercy, to open our hearts to the needs of others—especially the poor and marginalised—and to walk forward in trust, sustained by the enduring love of Christ. As pilgrims, we are reminded that our lives are a journey toward the fullness of life with God, and the Holy Year offers a special opportunity to strengthen that journey through prayer, penance, and pilgrimage.Listen againCatch up on all the homilies preached by Fr Luke Goymour at St Mark’s Catholic Church, Holy Family Catholic Church and St Mary Magdalen’s Catholic Church.Join Us in Missional PrayerBe part of our parish’s renewal through prayer.
