Easter Services at Worth Abbey for 2011 - Details

The project of interior and exterior works for the Abbey Church will mean that the Church is not quite available for our Easter Services. All the major Easter Services will take place under the temporary arrangements in the Narthex where seating is limited to 350. Exceptionally for this year we ask that only regular parishioners and their families attend our Easter Services. We look forward to seeing our regular parishioners at one of the Four Easter Masses in our Abbey and Parish (marked in blue, below). For those we cannot invite this year we extend our warm greetings, and we look forward to worshipping with you in the fully completed Abbey Church in the next few months (see HERE for details). The Monastic prayer will continue to be in the Unity Room (or possibly in the Abbey Church, to be decided nearer the time).

Everyone is warmly invited to pray with the monastic community at any of the liturgies listed here. You are advised to arrive at least five or ten minutes before the times published here for the Eucharistic Liturgies and Monastic Prayer.
