The Anglican Chaplaincy of Midi-Pyrénées and Aude
Welcome to Alet-les-Bains
We have been meeting in the Limoux area since 2004. Since March 2012, we worship at L’Eglise Saint André, Alet les Bains.
Our worship is in the central Anglican tradition and one of our ministry team celebrates Holy Communion using Common Worship twice a month on the first and third Sundays. On the other Sundays the Lay Readers or Congregation Worship Leaders conduct our worship. All members of the congregation are encouraged to participate, to read lessons, lead our intercessions or serve coffee and light refreshments after services.
We welcome all who seek an English-speaking church, whether as a regular place of worship, respite from the tourist trail, or a place to bring their special need.
We look forward to meeting you!
