Welcome to our parish community website.
Maryvale Parish has a long and distinguished history. Mass has been celebrated in this road for over one thousand years. We are proud of our history. Our parish is not just a history - it's a living community of faith in this part of North Birmingham.Father David J.

Weekly Prayer
God our Father, maker of all, the crown of your creation was the Son of Man, born of a woman, but without beginning; he suffered for us but lives forever. May our mortal lives be crowned with the ultimate joy of rising with him, who is Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
A Parish Prayer
Father of love and all blessings, you chose Mary, your lowly handmaid, to be the Mother of Your beloved Son. Mary listened to your word and believed what she heard. She responded with love and confident trust to the mission you offered her.
She Followed Jesus as the perfect disciple and shared in His mission of reconsiliation and the proclamation of the Kingdom. At the end, she stood by Him at the foot of the Cross and shared in the joy of the Resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
May we follow her example of discipleship. Bless our parish and strengthen our fellowship and communion. May we, like Mary, accept the work you give us to do.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
