In the accounts of the Evangelists, who describe the events in the life of Jesus and his disciples in the New Testament, we find a very nuanced picture of the Apostle Saint Peter, to whom the patronage of this church in Lilley is entrusted. On the one hand, we encounter the convinced and resolute disciple of Jesus, who, for example, attended the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor; but on the other hand, he is not free from human weakness. The latter becomes very clear in the events of Holy Week: In the Garden of Gethsemane, he falls asleep—as do the other disciples—when Jesus, after the Last Supper, addresses God the Father and asks the disciples to pray as well; and after Jesus' arrest, Peter, out of fear, even denies three times that he knows him at all. But he also weeps over his weakness and, upon encountering the risen Christ, professes his love and loyalty to him. His real name is Simon, but Jesus gives him the name Peter (the word means 'rock'), upon which the Church is to be built, and gives him – according to the Gospel of Matthew – the "keys to the Kingdom of Heaven." His feast day – together with that of Saint Paul – is celebrated on June 29th in all Christian denominations.

St. Mary’s Church has a rich and long history, being almost 900 years old. It has been rebuilt and refurbished constantly over the centuries. The Church is one of the largest in Bedfordshire and considered a fine example of medieval architecture. It is the only Grade 1 listed building in Luton. The site of St. Mary’s has been the centre of worship for people in the area for over 1,000 years, and a church was built in about 930 AD by King Athelstan as an act of thanksgiving for victory over the Danes. The land here was owned by the king in Saxon and early Norman times and the church was very richly endowed.
