This Sunday is Fr. Marcus’s final Sunday service before his retirement. He will lead the regular service in Calpe. Our other clergy will be presiding at services at the regular times in our other churches. Full details of these weekly communion services can be found at this page – https://costablanca-anglicanchaplaincy.org/churches-and-services-3/.

On Tuesday we will wish Fr. Marcus and Sandra farewell at Fr. Marcus’s last service, before retirement. This will be held at 6pm, at the beautiful La Merced church in Calpe; to be followed by a farewell party at the Hotel Gran Sol (please note change of venue). There will (of course) be cake! Plus Music, Magic Moments and a Hog Roast! We hope that everyone who can will join us for this end of an era event. (Just to make life a little easier, a suggested donation of €10 per person for the Hog roast would be welcome.)

Fr. Rodney and Fr. Robin will be broadcasting their now regular communion service on Fr. Rodney’s Facebook page. It will be “streamed” live on Sunday at 10am Spanish time (9am BST) and then available all day on Sunday, to join at your leisure. As always both the live broadcast and the recording will be available on the following page – https://www.facebook.com/rodney.middleton.940. If you are not ready or not able to join us in one of our churches this is a wonderful way to share our worship.

The Chaplaincy is entirely self-funded. If you wish to make a donation to support the work, you can pay directly into the Chaplaincy bank account in Spain (please show your name and the congregation that you support, if appropriate). The full IBAN number is –

Here is a really advanced notice:

We have booked a two night stay from 10^th June to 12^th June in the 3* Hotel SUBUR in SITGES  (not to be confused with Subur Maritin).  

The price is €273 each for a double room and €363 for a single.      We have 13 doubles and 3 singles booked.   The travel agent worked really hard to find a suitable hotel and this is in an excellent location and close to everything.    

The weekend is very popular and many hotels are already full – yes full for June 2023!!!      People come from all over the world for this spectacular event.      This will be a Chaplaincy Wide trip but obviously on a first come first served basis.  

The hotel have told the Travel Agent that due to the booking being at a busy time they need 50% of the payment before 25 January and the balance  before 30 March – just so that you are aware. 

Also due to the high occupation they have strict a cancellation politic:-                                                         

until  05/02/2023  without charge

from 06/02/2023 charge 35%

from  05/04/2023 charge 85%

from 05/05/2023 charge 100%

Now I know what you might be thinking – Saturday night and Sunday night – well, our Clergy have already thought this though about the Sunday and it will be covered for all of the services to go ahead.   

Here is some information to whet your appetite. 

Corpus Christi is a feast held every year on the second Thursday after Pentecost. The celebration is associated with the commemoration of Jesus’s Last Supper with his Apostles before His crucifixion. We celebrate it in Church but some places celebrate the feat in a really special way.   During the Corpus celebration in Sitges, many patios and other spaces are decorated.  The streets are hung with banners and some of them also with artistic decorations or bowers. Carpets of flowers adorn the main streets of Sitges , which is just 35 kilometres from Barcelona.    Sitges is filled with colour and the aroma of flowers during the celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi.     The highlight of the festivity takes place on the feast day itself, when the local residents create carpets of petals from carnations and other flowers. A jury awards prizes to the best carpets, all made with exquisite taste and devotion. Later, the procession of the Holy Sacrament passes over these works of art that adorn the main streets.  The Corpus Christi festivities 

Could you please announce this and make sure your congregations know.  

As I said above, there are 13 double rooms and 3 singles.  

Kind regards
