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.

St. Blasius C of E Primary Academy
Friendship, Wisdom & Endurance
Shanklin
Church
of
England
Primary
School

of
the
town,
and

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.
