WHERE WE ARE
A message from Fr Louis, our Locum for the next couple of weeks
I’m grateful for the opportunity to spend a fortnight at the Tenerife South Chaplaincy. I’m the Chaplain of St George’s Malaga and the Area Dean of Southern Spain and Gibraltar. I have worked in Spain for just over five years now and I love the variety of Spanish culture and language. I remember worshipping in the chaplaincy on a holiday here about 12 years ago when I was a parish priest in Essex and I remember thinking about applying to do a locum one day. Little did I know that some years later I would be moving to Spain and working in the Diocese in Europe. I have a particular affection for the Canary Islands and am looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible on this short break. I hope you can teach me something about what it means to be a Christian community here and what you enjoy about living in Tenerife. I will be remembering each of you daily at Morning and Evening Prayer and would be grateful if you could tuck me into your own prayers too. See you very soon!

On Sunday Oct 18th 2020 we saw all three of our worship centres resuming normal Eucharist services. (with hygiene measures in place) We praise God for that blessing. We are pleased that some of our Swallows have been able to return to us and hope for more to come. Our daily readings and prayers will continue to be sent out to those who have confirmed with Marisha that they still wish to receive them. We pray for you all that you will remain well and safe.
God Bless
