Services

This page contains information on our sunday services, weekday services, services at festivals such as Christmas, and special services.

The services usually last no more than an hour. Ours is a traditional way of worship, with traditional language and ceremonies - incense is burned at all services except the 8am and weekday masses - but also with a strong emphasis upon inclusiveness of age and gender. We rejoice in our inheritance with all the saints and we thank God for the blessings he has given us here. We are worth a visit. Come and taste and see how gracious the Lord is.
