Theobar — ‘drinks, networking… and God

This week’s Theobar event is in ‘Le bateau Ivre’ Bar of the Hotel Parc Belle-Fue, 5 Avenue Marie-Thérèse, L2132 Luxembourg (next to the Centre Convict), 19:30 sharp!

The subject this week, presented by Fr Ed, is:

“How can I be a Christian in my daily life without annoying my colleagues, losing my friends, being accused of hypocrisy?”

The Anglican community were due to move to the church in Cents this weekend (5/6 November), but the move has been postponed for the time being. In a previous post, I invited parishioners from our community to join me attending choral evensong in Cents on 6th November, supporting our Anglican friends as they move to their new home (for a trial period). Of course anyone wishing to attend Evensong is welcome to do so, but it will be in the Konvict Centre as previously, at 18:30.

I will pass on any updates about the move.

Anglicans on the Move
The Anglican community are moving from the Konvict chapel to the church in Cents, initially for a trial period from next Sunday until the end of February next year. We have had our own recent experience of moving from a long-established location to our present home in St Alphonse, and know something of the growing pains, but more importantly, the great blessings such a move can bring.

The first services they will hold in Cents’ church will be held on Sunday next, 6th November. I would like to propose that we (as many of us as possible) will join our Anglican friends for Choral Evensong that evening, which is at 18:30. Details of the move, and other information, can be found at anglican.lu

As from Sunday 27th November (1st Sunday of Advent) there will be an additional Sunday Mass at St Alphonse. During the winter months (i.e. until Easter) the Mass will be at 17:00, and during the summer months (i.e. until 1st October) the Mass will be at 19:00.

The additional Mass is to relieve the pressure on the 11:15 Mass, which as those who attend it know well, is very full, and with all the children present, quite ‘lively’ to say the least!

The Sunday evening Mass will be quiet and meditative, offering a gentle close to the weekend.

For the time being, arrangements for Readers and Eucharistic Ministers will be informal (ie. not organised by rota). This extra Mass is for an experimental period (duration to be decided) to ascertain if there is sufficient demand.
