Welcome to the Homepage of St. Michael's

AN INTRODUCTION TO ST MICHAEL'S

St. Michael's Anglican Church is located in Beaulieu-sur-Mer in the South of France, halfway between Nice and Monaco. We serve the area between Nice and Monaco; Villefranche, St. Jean - Cap Ferrat, Beaulieu, Eze and Cap d'Ail.

We are a relatively small community, but alive, active and welcoming, representing people of every age and of a wide variety of nationalities - including English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, American, Canadian, Australian, German, Dutch, Norwegian and Icelandic.

Our worship centres on our 10 o'clock Sunday Eucharist, celebrated according to Common Worship order one and followed by refreshments in the garden or in the south aisle.

Our congregation includes Lutherans, Presbyterians and Roman Catholics, many of whom play a leading role in our activities; we have excellent relations with the town council and with the French Catholic parish and our church is also used by the Danish Lutheran community on the Cote d'Azur.

In 2003 we celebrated the centenary of the church's consecration with a music festival and an ecumenical procession through the town from St. Michael's to the church of the Sacrė-Coeur with the Bishop of Nice and the Archbishop of York.

St Michael’s is a chaplaincy of the Diocese in Europe whose mission is to serve Anglican and English-speaking people throughout Europe, plus Morocco, Turkey and the whole of the former Soviet Union. There are currently chaplaincies in 44 countries ranging from Morocco to Iceland and from Portugal to Mongolia. www.europe.anglican.org
