Catholic worship

Worship at S Giles
We treasure our heritage as Catholic Christians within the Church of England. Worship at S Giles has been called "intensely joyful," "beautifully solemn" and "a visceral taste of genuine holiness."

Faithful teaching

Teaching at S Giles
We believe in the Christian faith as it has been handed down to us in all of its fullness: the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. We strive to be faithful to Christ in our worship & our lives.

Raising our children

Every Sunday we have a Sunday School programme for children, and regular confirmation classes.  Our youth also have an important role serving at the altar.

"Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you remember Christ crucified and be silent."

-- S John of the Cross
Christ is risen, Alleluia!

We do not know what happened when Jesus Christ rose from the dead; that is God's secret.  We do not know, that is, what happened to him, what change he underwent, what it was like for him to rise.  We know some of the things that happened to his disciples, what he caused them to see, to touch and to hear.  Through the signs of his presence which he bestowed, he made them understand at least this about himself: the whole Jesus who had lived with them before his passion was again alive, and with them again; nothing had been lost where everything had been glorified.  We break the bread on the altar for the death of Christ, but presently we mingle wine and bread to figure the coming together again of flesh and blood in the wholeness of Christ's resurrection.  And then we take to ourselves the words he spoke to the Twelve in the upper room:  The peace of the Lord be always with you.
