FROM THE CHAPLAIN

Spring 2025

St George's joins with our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters, and all the world, in mourning the death of Pope Francis.  On this Easter Monday, we rejoice in the resurrection, and pray that Francis may rest in peace and rise in glory.

Father in heaven, we praise your name
for all who have finished this life
loving and trusting you,
for the example of their lives,
the life and grace you gave them,
and the peace in which they rest.
We praise you today for your servant Francis
and for all that you did through him.
Meet us in our sadness
and fill our hearts with praise and thanksgiving,
for the sake of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.

Into your hands, O merciful Saviour
We commend your servant Francis.
Acknowledge, we pray, a sheep of your own fold,
a lamb of your own flock,
a sinner of your own redeeming.
Enfold him in the arms of your mercy,
in the blessed rest of everlasting peace
and in the glorious company of the saints in light.
Amen.

Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. George’s,
Welcome to St George's and to Venice!  Whether you are here for a week or a lifetime, you are welcome at St George's.  St George's has the only English service in Venice on Sunday mornings, and we delight in greeting people from all over the world EVERY SUNDAY AT 10.30AM.  And when we say welcome - we mean you are welcome to participate in the service, to receive communion if you are hungry for Christ, to sip prosecco with us afterwards, and to get involved with our on-going life together.
It's spring in Venice, the sky is incredibly blue, the water is sparkling, and that unique golden light of Venice suffuses everything.  Carnevale is over and we are in the middle of Spring - actually a wonderful time to be here, with less crowding and glorious weather.

Please note that all Sunday services are at 10.30 am.  

Blessings, Lucinda+
The Very Rev Lucinda Laird, Chaplain, St George's Anglican Church, Venice.
