 Welcome
to Holy Saviour Parish. Our Parish is under the ambit of
the Anglican Church in the
Diocese of Trinidad
and Tobago within the Church in The Province of The West
Indies. The Church in the Province of the West Indies is an
autonomous Church in the world-wide
Anglican
Communion.
The
Anglican Church has a history stretching back to 597AD when
St. Augustine, the first
Archbishop
of Canterbury established a mission in the
south of England. Our Parish stands within that tradition of
Anglicanism with the emphasis on traditional teaching,
worship and pastoral care. The sacraments, particularly the
Eucharist (or the Mass) are at the heart of our parish life.
Services are in the traditional language of the
Book of Common Prayer, and
mass on Sundays and other holy days are characterised by
choral and ceremonial music.
There are four churches
in the Parish; Holy Saviour in Curepe, St. John’s in Petit
Bourg, Christ The King in Mt. D’Or, and St. Martin In The
Valley in Maracas, St. Joseph. The Parish serves as
chaplaincy to five
institutions in the area and owns the Holy Saviour Anglican
School in Curepe.
The clergy is led
by the Parish Priest, the Venerable Dr. Steve A. West,
Archdeacon North, and is ably assisted by two priests -
Reverends Marsha Joseph and Richard Jacob, a deacon -
Reverend Beverly Hoyte, and the Rt. Rev. Dr. Clive Abdulah
as an Honorary Assistant.
In an effort to provide information about
God’s Word to parishioners and the wider community,
nationally and regionally, and thus foster renewal and
spiritual growth, the Parish launched a
Radio Ministry. This has resulted in three programs
being aired weekly, and one monthly on Inspirational Radio
730 AM.
People, attracted by the traditional
liturgy, orthodox teaching and fine music, travel from as
far east as Arima, as far west as Diego Martin, and as far
south as Chaguanas to worship regularly at our churches.
Many others have a link with the Parish through one of the
many organizations of the Parish, or the School, or because
a significant event at one of the churches has touched their
lives.
Welcome to the Holy Saviour Parish.
"O God, you have
taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and
our neighbour. Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that
we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and be united
to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen." |
