Taizé is a small town in the Burgundy region of France where a monastic community, founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schütz, has been the focus of worldwide Christian pilgrimage. The community is well-known for it's simple, chant-like style of worship and prayer, and is especially popular with young people, with over 100,000 people making pilgrimages to Taizé every year to pray, study and work.
St Mary's Rydal have held Taizé -style services since the 1980's. At the turn of the millennium the Rydal Hall Community and a group from St Mary's visited Taizé. Today we meet on the first Sunday of the month at 7pm, excluding January and August. In winter (November, December, February through April) we meet in Rydal Hall chapel and in summer (May through July, September, October) at St Mary’s Church Rydal. Quiet reflection, Taize chants and readings given by members of the congregation are enjoyed in soft candlelight. Everyone is welcome.
