Contact us if you would like to know more about St Helena's, or any of our activities.
Who we are
St
Helena's is an English language church
located in the centre of Larnaca on the south east coast of Cyprus.
Since 1907 Christian worship has been offered from our premises.
Though we are in the tradition of the Church of England, our members come from many backgrounds and countries, and participate fully in the life and service of God.
Our primary work at St Helena's is ministry to English speakers in a radius of about 30km around Larnaca.
Our activities
Besides Sunday services, there are Bible studies, prayer times, pastoral care, ladies coffee afternoons, a slimming club and an Inter-church Youth Club. Other social and fundraising events take place through the year.
Weddings
We
provide wedding
preparation and ceremonies for many couples each year, both local and
from
the UK. Our weddings are in the Church of England style and are
conducted
either at the church or at one of the several local hotels.
The weddings page has
more information.
Funerals
Each year St Helena's is called upon to conduct about 20 funerals - most for people who do not attend the church, but of British background and who lived in Cyprus. Preparation with the family and if desired, after-care following the funeral are offered.
St
Helena's Church is part of the
Diocese of Cyprus and
the Gulf
The diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf is one of four dioceses in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, and includes Cyprus, the Gulf States, Iraq and Yemen. In every part of the diocese, except in Cyprus, the congregations are expatriate, with many Christians from Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and the African continent.
