All events Calendar Advent & Christmas

A welcoming Christian community in the heart of Cambridge, since 1020AD. Prayer and worship are central to St Bene’t’s. Our common life is rooted in the daily offering of the Eucharist and Evening Prayer, with our main service 10am on Sundays. The Eucharist is celebrated daily: Sunday (8 & 10am), Monday (7pm), Tuesday (10.30am), Wednesday (12.30pm), Thursday (12.30pm), Friday (8am), Saturday (9am) and all are welcome. Evening Prayer is daily at 6pm, in church and over zoom. Our worship style is sacramental but not fussy, in the Liberal Catholic tradition. Space is made in our services for silence, and many people value the prayerful and holy atmosphere of the church. We are open daily, from 9am to 6pm.
