We meet at 11.30am on the second and fourth Saturday of every month plus certain high and holy days. You are very welcome to join us. We come to worship God, to pray for the world and each other, and to raise money to help people less fortunate than ourselves. After the service we usually go to a local bar for a coffee or something stronger. We list below our next service plus any online services which are taking place across the Malaga Chaplaincy.

“….Waiting on God, learning to be passive in a way creative for your inner life, is not a question of thinking about God, but of growing in stillness. It has to do with prayer, and with music or from the simple contemplation of the world about you.” (Michael Mayne, ‘A Year Lost and Found’)

Rogation Saturday, 9th May, Holy Eucharist 11.30am

Today the 6th weekend of Easter is Rogation Saturday, an ancient church festival, at which God was asked to bless a community and its crops. The word ‘rogation’ derives from the Latin verb 'rogare', meaning “to ask”. Rogationtide covers the days leading up to the feast of the Ascension.

Rogation is a christianisation of the pagan Roman festival known as Robigalia, at which a dog was sacrificed to propitiate Robigus, the god of agricultural disease, thereby preventing rotting of the crops in the fields.

In the UK it is typically observed with fasting and abstinence, the blessing of crops and ‘beating of the bounds’, in which a procession of parishioners, led by the priest, churchwardens and choir proceed around the boundary of their parish – passing through fields and shops - and pray for its protection in the forthcoming year.

Here in the Malaga Chaplaincy, where our parish boundary follows the provincial borders, it is unlikely that we would complete a beating of the bounds within the days allocated to Rogation!

The picture shows one of the main crops of this province - the olive tree!
