Holy Week 2026 V2.png

Father Colin attended an Ecumenical Meeting on March 2nd, 2026. He was one of twenty-nine representatives of various religious denominations registered in Portugal received, at the Belém Palace by the President of the Republic.

 

'It was another occasion, whilst bidding farewell to everyone,  to celebrate freedom of worship and interreligious dialogue, fundamental to creating inclusive societies and building peace and tolerance'.

Support for Our Environmental Programme

We've launched the sale of limited-edition water bottles and tote bags in support of our Environmental programme.  Selling at a minimum donation of 8 euros each.  This initiative is intended to save on the use of plastic bags and bottles, raise funds for St James and, at the same time, look very stylish!

 

You can purchase the items at St James on Sundays or place your order with Vicky, Julie or Claire.

Won't you join us?

We always enjoy welcoming visitors, pilgrims, and new residents. 

Contact Vicky to learn more about our church and visiting a service.
