SERVICES
-- Until further notice, all public services at St Clement's are suspended in the interests of public safety. Details of services, when they resume, will be published here as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding at this time.
We will continue to celebrate Mass at St Clement's on Sunday mornings, and a recording of the service will be made available online for you to join in with our worship at a distance. Please see our News page for details of the latest broadcast services. --
The principal service is an 11am Sung Mass each Sunday. Please see below for our calendar. The liturgy is based on the 1662 Prayer Book (BCP) and the Authorised Version of the Bible is used for the BCP lectionary readings. The language is traditional; the preaching sound and the ceremonial catholic in style. The Ordinary of the Mass is sung to either Shaw or Merbecke. The service lasts about an hour and concludes with the Angelus, which is followed by conversation, coffee and tea.
The feel of the service is traditional and visitors often say that it takes them back to earlier memories of church. The liturgy attempts deliberately to be different from our experience of daily life; recognising that we are all in need of forgiveness. Through penitence and encounter with Our Lord in the liturgy, we experience holiness and are equipped to go out and live our lives transformed by His grace.
St Clement's has a beautiful 19 century organ played by accomplished organists and singing at most Sunday services is supported by a mixed-voice volunteer choir.
