You can't miss the church in the centre of Georgetown, but stop in - don't pass it by! From the notice on the door asking you not to leave it open so that the donkeys do not get in to the memorials.... more

Having worked and lived on Ascension Island St. Mary's church was more welcoming than the Catholic churches I attended. The memorials to those that lost their lives was inspiring. St Mary's relied on volunteers to help maintain and provide repairs.

A lovely little church which is well worth a visit. The whitewashed building is easily seen from most places in Georgetown. Inside are several religious artefacts. One of the most striking thing about the church are the number of memorial plaques on the walls to people who lost their lives often in tragic circumstances.
