| ©2018 St. Blasius Old Parish Church, Shanklin
Welcome to St Blasius
A friendly, welcoming church in an 860 year old
building in a delightful setting.
Our services are traditional with an emphasis
upon uplifting hymns led by our
excellent organist and choir.
A service of Matins takes place once a month.
There is access for wheelchairs.
St. Blasius Church is part of the Isle of Wight
Deanery of the Diocese of Portsmouth and is
one of the churches on the Isle of Wight and
was only established in 1853. The church itself
was built during the reign of King Stephen, so is
over 850 years old, but for much of its history
was the family chapel for Shanklin Manor.
As Shanklin began to grow in Victorian times
the Lord of the manor gave the church to the
town as the parish church for the Old Village
and the new development to the north. As the
town grew and spread towards Sandown in the
north, two new parishes were formed, St. Paul’s
near the station and St. Saviour’s on the cliff.
Being on the southern extreme of the town, St.
Blasius church has remained in many ways a
country church.
Information on the history of St Blasius can be
found here.
Weddings

St Blasius makes the ideal

Baptisms

Baptised at St Blasius.

Coronavirus Update
The gradual easing of coronavirus restrictions
means that we will resume Sunday morning
worship in Church from
Sunday 4th April 2021.
(Sadly, it will not be possible for the Church to
be open during the week until coronavirus
restrictions are fully lifted).
You are warmly invited to join us for a simple
service of Holy Communion
10.15am Every Sunday
OUR FIRST SERVICE WILL BE 4th
APRIL
A CELEBRATION COMMUNION
ON EASTER SUNDAY
Guidelines for preventing the
spread of coronavirus mean that our
services will feel very different…
•
Everyone MUST wear a face mask.
(Unless medically exempt).
•
Everyone will be asked to sanitise their
hands as they enter and leave.
•
Everyone will be asked to give their name
and contact details to assist with NHS “test
and trace.”
•
There will be posters and markers to help
everyone move around the church in a
safe way to maintain 2m social distance
wherever possible.
•
The total number of people will be limited
to 36 with people sitting in alternate pews.
(Increased if members of the same
household sit together).
•
There will be an order of service to take
home and bring back with you.
•
Music will continue to be an important
part of our worship - although we will not
be able to sing, there will be recorded or
live music for reflection.
•
We will share Communion together, but
this will be the bread only.
•
Although we will not be able to share in
the usual time of socialising over
refreshments at the end of the service,
there will be a strong sense of comfort
gained from being able to worship
together as “the body of Christ” in one
place.
