St Paul’s likes to think of itself as traditional in worship — but we’re not stuffy. We try to offer worship that focuses on God, is meaningful, and is joyful. Our central act of worship is most often the Eucharist (the Mass, Holy Communion). This is celebrated with solemnity, grace and joy. Some might call us “high church” because of our use of vestments, ancient chant (and even incense from time to time), but those who experience our worship usually appreciate our style. Sunday Services Sundays in Summer (beginning on Pentecost Sunday, June 12). 9:00 a.m. Holy Communion Rite One Traditional English (using thees and thous)Sermon and hymns.
