Join us for Easter! We celebrate the Easter Vigil & Liturgy at a special service on Saturday, 4 April at 20:00.

In this beautiful and dramatic time of worship, we kindle a new fire, light the Easter Candle and recount the salvation story before proclaiming Christ’s resurrection, renewing our baptism and celebrating the first Eucharist of Easter.

Please note that this Easter Vigil & Liturgy on Saturday night is our principle celebration of Easter. We therefore do not have a Sunday morning service.

Following the New Year’s tragedy in Crans-Montana that has shocked our nation, a national day of mourning has been declared for Friday, 09 January.

Any and all are welcome to gather at the Villars English Church for a short service of prayer and remembrance beginning at 13:45. We will then participate in the national ringing of the bells at 14:00. Space for private prayer and silence will follow afterwards.

During this tragic time we hold in our prayers all who have died, the injured victims and their families, and all those who have worked to save lives. Our church community is spread around the world, so wherever you are please do be praying during this difficult time.
