The Church Of The Holy Rood -- Wool, Dorset, U.K.

Welcome to Holy Rood!

The church is a vital part of the life of the community. We aim to be a friendly and welcoming church.

You will find at the heart of the church small groups - people meeting together for encouragement, worship, prayer, Bible Study, fun and food! Within the church they offer a special place of belonging and a means of getting involved in the life of the church. Currently we are reviewing these groups and want to make them even more friendly, relevant, and accessible.

We look forward to meeting you.

Pastoral Care - Where to find help when you need it

Each of us has times in life when we need help. These may be a result of a bereavement, illness, or any of life's unexpected changes. It may be for a simple, one-off opportunity to talk things over; or it may be for someone to visit regularly.

Whatever your need, we want to be able to help you. In this parish, we have a team of people who have gifts in pastoral care. If you would like someone to visit you, please contact the Vicarage.
