Easter Vigil & Liturgy

for 1 hour, 45 mins
Villars English Church
Aiglon Chapel Route des Hôtels 26 Villars-sur-Ollon, 1884, Switzerland

This is a beautiful, dramatic time of worship in which we kindle a new fire, light the Easter Candle and recount the salvation story before proclaiming Christ’s resurrection, renewing our baptism and celebrating the first Eucharist of Easter.

Please note that this Easter Vigil & Liturgy on Saturday night is our principle celebration of Easter. We therefore do not have a Sunday morning service. We encourage everyone to continue their Easter celebrations at St John’s Montruex or All Saints’ Vevey.

Welcome to the Villars English Church, an international English-speaking congregation in the alpine village of Villars-sur-Ollon since 1883. We meet in the Aiglon Chapel located in the centre of the village and serve the area's international communities as a space of regular prayer and community.

Whether you are in Villars on holiday or a long-time resident of the area, we invite you to join us for a time of simple worship. We would enjoy the opportunity to meet you.
