The Parish Church of St Oswald, King and Martyr, Oswestry

 

A warm welcome to the website of St. Oswald’s, the Town Centre Church of Oswestry, which has been a place of worship for almost 1000 years. Worship is supported by choral music of high quality and by thoughtful preaching, prayer and action. St. Oswald’s works closely in friendship with other local churches and organisations in the wider community as we seek to share God’s love for all.

Vicar:- Rev. Harvey Gibbons, M.A.

The Patronal Festival Barbeque was a great success despite being held in the Parish Centre rather than the vicarage garden. A huge thank you to our stalwart cooks, Peter and Colin. 

The choir and St Oswald Singers will now be on holiday until September. St Oswald Singers will be on duty on the 7th of September and the main choir on the 14th onwards.

We wish all our singers and our MD a good holiday.

On St Oswald's day we said a fond goodbye to Eleri Roberts. Eleri joined the choir at the age of 9 and progressed through the ranks, getting her academic diploma and hood at an early age. She has recently been Assistant Choir Trainer and played a large part in leading the choir.. She is planning to go to university next term. We send her our love and very best wishes for the future and hope to see her at Christmas.
