Two members of our chaplaincy community have accepted nomination in the election of new members of the Association and Chaplaincy Councils. Lay Reader Mary de Vachon (photo left with Ria) is a member of long standing at Saint Paul's. As a lay reader she is an ex-officio member of the Chaplaincy Council, and is standing as a candidate for election to the Association's Administrative Council as well. Tom Terrell (photo right, with his family) played  a vital role in the organisation of our ALPHA programme that took place in the autumn of 2014. He and his wife, Saphira -- and their one-year-old daughter Amadea -- are very faithful new members of our church community. Tom is standing as a candidate for election to both the Chaplaincy and Association Councils.

Chaplain's Warden, Rupert Katritzky, has now completed his first 3-year term on the Association Council and has very kindly agreed to accept nomination for election to a second and final 3-year term. Rupert is pictured below with Tim Humphreys, the People's Warden at Saint Paul's Church.

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.
