Last Sunday, we were delighted to welcome The Reverend Roxana Tenea Teleman as our curate. Roxana was ordained deacon on Sunday, June 30, by Bishop Robert. She will serve with us for three years. In Church of England terminology, Holy Trinity Nice with St Hugh’s Vence is her ‘title’ parish, where […]

Corpus Christi Sunday
We celebrated Trinity Sunday last Sunday. The Thursday following, June 20, was the feast of Corpus Christi, a day of thanksgiving for the Eucharist. In some countries – like Germany, where I was at the Diocesan Synod last week – it’s a public holiday. Where it’s not a holiday, it […]
Trinity Sunday

Wonderfully, there were sixteen. There were familiar faces and new ones. We enjoyed our time together against the backdrop of a […]
