St John's, Territet-Montreux

St. John's in Territet-Montreux is an English-speaking Anglo-Catholic community nestled in the heart of the Swiss Riviera. Within sight of the Château de Chillon, Territet is a place steeped in history – it lies along the ancient pilgrim's road to Rome, a path once walked by the four-year-old Alfred the Great and, two centuries later, by King Canute himself, both making their way to the alpine passes into Italy.


Every Sunday, we joyfully celebrate the Sung Eucharist in a church beloved for its architectural beauty, its exceptional acoustics, its choir, and the rare privilege of an organ now approaching 150 years of age – one of the finest and rarest instruments of its kind in Switzerland.


All are welcome to join us to encounter the goodness of God in prayer, and to share in the journey of coming to know Jesus Christ.
