There is an excellent community spirit in the congregation and social events such as film and quiz evenings, meals, strawberry teas, and the summer garden party attract a wide range of people. The bilingual Christmas Carol Service draws people from all churches and members of the congregation play an active part in organising ecumenical events (Women’s World Day of Prayer, Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Good Friday meditation, Easter Sunday sunrise service on the beach…)

Thanks to Abbé Pierre and our Roman Catholic friends, we can worship in the Oratoire Notre Dame de la Misericorde in rue Gaillard, Calais.

*Directions to the Oratory: Enter Calais from the autoroute A16 Sortie 46 by way of the Route de St Omer direction Calais, cross roundabout (Carrefour Mkt to left just before) into Bld Victor Hugo, follow through to end at traffic lights, take left lane, turn left into Bld Lafayette (over bridge, site of Old Hospital to right,) straight on until signposted to Place Crèvecoeur to the left, enter the Place and park as far down the Place as possible. Immediately behind the church of St Pierre and St Paul  there is a road leading away from the Church (rue Gaillard), the Oratory is 80 metres on the left, adjacent to the Restos de Coeur.
