ANGLICANS WORSHIPING IN THE ENGLISH TRADITION - in the main, C of E is the pattern of our services.

The Anglican Church at St Pargoire provides a place of worship for English-speaking Christians, whether resident in Languedoc or visitors. The church uses the chapel (temple) of the Eglise Reformée in the village of St. Pargoire, north-east of Pezenas.
The congregation meets once a month at 10 a.m. on the 1st Sunday each month for Holy Communion, which follows either Common Worship or occasionally the Book of Common Prayer. The church is part of the Church of England diocese of Europe. All who would like to attend will receive a warm welcome.
