English services

Delft is an international city, home to people from all over the world. As an open and engaged community, we wish to be welcoming to everyone. Naturally that applies to our services in Dutch, but as those can sometimes be challenging to follow for non-native speakers, we also organize services in English. If you are looking for a place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, for a place to pray or to reflect, or simply a place to enjoy, please feel welcome. We understand that people come in with their own backgrounds, culture, and beliefs; all are welcome in our church.

English services at St. Mary’s and St. Ursula’s usually follow the Anglican tradition. Some are in the traditional style of the Book of Common Prayer, in others we use modern styles from the Book of Alternative Services and the books of Common Worship.

If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us using the online form.
