In the story of Jesus’ life, he had supper with his friends on the night before he died on the cross. At this supper, he told them to share bread and wine to remember him. Ever since, Christians have gathered together in the same way to celebrate the mystery of our faith.

Christians have many names for this celebration – the Eucharist, the Lord’s Supper, the Mass, Holy Communion – but whatever we choose to call it, it remains at the centre of all our worship. The main celebration of the Eucharist at St. Clement's – on a Sunday, at 11am – is the high point of our weekly worship, engaging the senses with sound, colour and movement. This service includes choral music, hymn singing and a sermon, and lasts around 90 minutes. Visit www.anglican.cz for more information

Regular weekly Anglican services are held in Brno, the Czech Republic’s second city every Sunday at 5pm, and you can find out more about the beginnings of our ministry in Brno and the first service in this blog post by the then chaplain, Revd. Ricky Yates. The Community is now led by the Reverend Lea and Petra Williams. In Brno we are a young and growing international community committed to creating a caring and hospitable space to share life, grow in faith and serve our city in the name of Jesus. We are also a young and diverse community with people from many nations and social backgrounds – students from Brno’s many universities, Masaryk, Mendel and VUT, international workers, families, and long-term residents too.

So, if you’re an expat looking for a spiritual home away from home, are Anglican or non-Anglican, are returning to church after a while or have questions and want to explore the Christian faith for the first time, you’d be welcome here.

The Service of Nine Lessons and Carols is a Christmas service first conceived by King’s College Cambridge as a gift to the City of Cambridge in 1918 at the end of the cataclysmic First World War in order to bring a more imaginative approach to Christmas worship. We follow the same proven format at St. Clement’s, with a combination of traditional Carols and Christmas bible readings that will entrance and bring joy to old and young in this Christmas season.

Do you fancy yourself a Caroller? Do you have a voice and an urge to bring joy and pleasure to many around Prague? Then meet us at St. Clement’s to depart for this relaxed evening of singing traditional carols around the streets of Prague. It’s great fun and hot drinks will be provided!

Ukraine is a country steeped in music, and carols play a special part in that musical tradition. From the world-famous Carol of the Bells to less well known, but nonetheless beautiful compositions, many based on folk tunes, we are happy to host such a joyous service for our Ukrainian brethren at such a difficult time for their country.

The tradition of a midnight Vigil on the eve of Christmas began in the East, and was observed in the late fourth century in Jerusalem. The tradition reached the Western world in the year 430 under Pope Sixtus III in the Basilica of St Mary Major. By the twelfth century, the practice of midnight Mass had become more widespread as all priests had been granted the faculty of celebrating three Masses on Christmas Day (previously reserved to the Pope). Midnight Mass is the first liturgy of Christmastide that is celebrated on the night of Christmas Eve, traditionally beginning or culminating at midnight when Christmas Eve gives way to Christmas Day. This popular Christmas custom is a jubilant celebration of the mass or service of worship in honour of the Nativity of Jesus; even many of those Christian denominations that do not regularly employ the word mass uniquely use the term "Midnight Mass" for their Christmas Eve liturgy as it includes the celebration of Holy Communion.

The Scriptures tell us that there are several reasons to pray. Saint Paul in his Letter to the Ephesians, says “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Join us online twice a month in order to be able to share this wonderful, uplifting experience with us. Please contact the Chaplain at [email protected] for further details including login.

The origins of Evening Prayer date back to Christian and Jewish prayers at the end of the day and the shape of Evening Prayer was first set by the great Reformation Martyr Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in the first Book of Common Prayer (1549), based on the Catholic offices (daily services) of Vespers and Compline. Join us and participate in an intense, timeless act of worship that has entranced Anglicans by its simplicity and uplifting language for over three and a half centuries.
