Welcome!
St. George’s is part of the Anglican Church and is the English-speaking church of Andorra. We welcome and invite worshippers from all denominations to take an active part in our services and everybody to both attend our services and take part in our events and activities.
Until mid 2012, St George’s had always been based in the Comu of La Massana, and used various churches that were made available by the Mossen of the parish. Most recently St George’s had been holding services throughout the year at Sant Iscle & Santa Victoria, the parish church of La Massana, situated in the old Carrer Major of La Massana.
We then moved to Santa Maria del Fener, a modern church located in the heart of Andorra la Vella, where we held our first holy communion service on July 1, 2012. All our regular services were held at this “new” church where we were welcomed by the Mossen as visitors and worshippers. We continued, however, to hold our annual Christmas Eve carol service in La Massana parish church where we benefit from being able to use the organ.
As from January, 2017, we have become a worship centre of St George’s Barcelona under the supervision and guidance of its resident chaplain, Revd John Chapman, and with his wife, Revd Deborah Chapman, taking specific responsibility for visiting us regularly as well. This change enables us to dispense with certain local responsibilities, such as appointing churchwardens and a church council, and to function with a small worship service committee and a Treasurer. The change in status will help us reach out to people in the community as we will have regular visits for longer periods from the same chaplain, who can thus get to know us and our community and help us with outreach activity.
In 2020 our services were disrupted by Covid 19 restrictions. We managed to hold six main monthly services outdoors in Brenda Ross’s lovely garden and six CD based services at other outdoor venues. For 2021 we were able to hold one monthly service led by Revd John Chapman at Santa Maria del Fener in March and again in November. All other monthly services were held at a private apartment or in its lovely garden led by Revd Deborah Chapman. In 2022 this arrangement continued until in the autumn we received permission to start using the little church at Sispony. a hamlet in the parish of la Massana.
For 2023 and the foreseeable future we expect to be using this little church each month.
