HESDIN’s Anglican church in the Pas de Calais was formed in October 2003 by Revd. Roy Kilford.

It’s congregation is made up from English-speaking people of various Christian faiths,  mostly living as permanent residents, and those with holiday homes in the area. The average congregation is about fifteen but the number increases in summertime with holiday makers, and also special occasions, such as Easter and Harvest.  

We hope to increase our numbers with the presence of our long awaited Chaplain, Revd. Teena Twelves and her regular Eucharist services in all three churches, Hesdin, Calais, and Boulogne which make up the chaplaincy and where all are welcome.

At Christmas-time Hesdin congregation shares a very well attended Ecumenical Carol service held in ‘Notre Dame’ Hesdin’s ancient Catholic Church; and invites everyone back afterwards to the parish rooms for a social event of mince pies and mulled wine.

Two morning services a month are held at 10.30am in the parish hall,  8 Rue de l’Arsenal, Hesdin . Coffee is shared after each service.
