Locally, we follow the Johannine Tradition of "listening for the heartbeat of God" in all things. The Liturgies we use in our Services hopefully reflect that in the mixture of Celtic and Orthodox material.

Liturgies we use:

Divine Liturgy of Saint Fillan

Disert Missal

Divine Liturgy of Saint Joseph of Arimathea

Divine Liturgy of Saint Aristobulos

Kiloran Missal

The Gallic Rite

Evening Eucharist

The above Liturgies have been published by our mother community (Community of St. Ita & St. Fillan) and are available here.

Note: There are churches which deny people the Sacraments because their Church is not in Communion with another or because the person is not baptised or for whatever other reasons.

We believe we are called to

a) treat all as if they were Christ himself and respond accordingly,

b) respond to need as Christ himself would respond.

and therefore we deny no person the Sacraments, regardless of their faith background, personal history or circumstances.
