Following another epic perfomance of Handel’s Messiah on December 9, the Church’s resurgence continued with a splendid Carol Service on the evening of December 17 in the presence of HSH Prince Albert, the UK’s Ambassador to Monaco and France and other dignitaries, plus, of course, members of St. Paul’s growing congregation.

At Christmas itself, there are several options for worship.

On December 24, Holy Communion will be offered at 08:00 with the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (said), with a second Holy Communion service at 19:30 (Common Worship and Carols), with post-service refreshments in the Chaplain’s house.

On December 25, 08:00 Holy Communion (1662 Book of Common Prayer – said), and 10:30 Holy Communion (Common Worship – said).

On the last day of the year, 08:00 Holy Communion (1662 Book of Common Prayer – said) and at 10:30 Holy Communion (Common Worship – said).

The unstoppable Rev Hugh Bearn has many other plans for 2024.
