Join us for church

Our Sunday morning Parish Communion is the main service of the week.

People who are regular communicants in their own churches are invited to receive the sacrament with us or to come forward for a blessing.


After the service we have a reception where we invite you to sample one of the specialities of the island: a glass of Madeira wine or a cup of coffee/tea and a chat. We make a small charge for the reception.

On Sunday morning, we also have a stall offering books to read, preserves, cards for almost all occasions, cards, and many other items.
