Parish Mass for Candlemas

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Michael & All Angels
Northcote Road/Palmerston Road WALTHAMSTOW, LONDON., E17 6PQ, United Kingdom

2 February is the real end of the 40 days of Christmas: indeed in some countries this is the day that Christmas decorations are taken down. We celebrate the presentation of Our Lord in the Temple, when Simeon takes the child Jesus into his arms and declares that he has seen the salvation of all mankind in his glory as the light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of his people Israel. Our Mass begins at the entrance of the church when candles are blessed and lit, and the Nunc Dimittis is sung, as we remember Jesus the Lord's entrance into his temple.

St Michael & All Angels

St Michael and all Angels' is a friendly multicultural church located in the heart of Walthamstow, very close to the vibrant high street.

We are no longer in interregnum at St Michael's and warmly welcome Canon Fred Ashford-Okai, our new priest in charge.  

We would like to thank all of those who have supported St Michaels during our interregnum helping us reach and grow our church community, and look forward to growing even more.

Please pop in and join us at one of our services. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @stmichaelstow.

God Bless
