Our Joyous Eastertide at Saint Paul's

Easter Morning 2016 shone glorious at Saint Paul's, if not in sunny weather most surely in the hearts and minds of those attending Easter Sunday services.

The annual Easter Egg Hunt had a few new participants and helpers in 2016.

The expanded Saint Paul's Church Choir helped lift the hearts of the Easter Sunday congregation in worship and praise, singing wonderful music including the annual favourite "Glorious Saviour", with words and music composed respectively by Patricia Cerrone, Choir Secretary, and Gottfried Kappen, Organist.

Here are links for the Easter Sunday recordings:

Father Walter's Easter Sermon "Risen Indeed!" (begins with the last verse of the hymn "Jesus Christ is Risen Today!")
" Glorious Saviour" - Patricia Cerrone, words, & Gottfried Kappen, music
"Laudate Dominum" - W.A. Mozart - Saint Paul's Church Choir
" Thine be the Glory" - G.F. Handel - Saint Paul's Choir & Congregation
The Choral Blessing - The Saint Paul's Church Choir (in honour of Wilfred Groote's birthday)
Trumpet and Organ Voluntary - Featuring Gottfried Kappen on the newly refurbished organ.

Easter Sunday flowers ...

Confirmation DATE CHANGE: 4 December

In order to accomodate one of our working mothers, Bishop David Hamid has confirmed a change in the date previously announced for Confirmation this year. Now Bishop David will come to Monaco to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at Saint Paul's Church on Sunday 4th December (10:30 a.m.). This summer and autumn, any young people (11 years and older) at Saint Paul's interested in Confirmation are invited to take part in a programme of preparation for Confirmation focused on Christian faith and Anglican tradition. The programme seeks to offer young people a chance to question and explore their faith tradition.
