The official opening of the church was in May 1997 by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Tenerife. It is now shared for worship by both Roman Catholics and Anglicans. The church is open to visitors daily with Anglican services on

Thursdays at 10.30 am and Sundays at 6pm throughout the year.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE ON THURSDAY 25 and SUNDAY 28 AUGUST due to the Carnival.

Following the Thursday morning service we meet for fellowship in one of the local cafes.

Nestling in the popular town is this quaint church. A plethora of bars and eateries can be found in the vicinity, some with views of the church. Giant rock formations rise from the sea to a height of 500-800 metres, and exhilarating coastal walks offer incredible views. Boat trips are available from the nearby harbour, to marvel at the whales and dolphins, and various water-sports are also on offer
