This is our way of staying in touch as we continue to stand with you in this extraordinary time. Latest advice & news from Exeter Diocese is at this link.

Here is this month’s Parish Magazine, the current Music List, subject to variation,  Lectures (currently suspended), and a selection of recordings of the Choir.

Our nature and wildlife continues to thrive. St Michael’s famous Peregrine Falcons can be observed via the webcam positioned on their nest within the spire. Our adult female Peregrine laid 3 eggs, but sadly for the first time in 24 years none of them has hatched. Exeter Peregrine Group’s Flickr gallery holds unique and beautiful images of these incredible birds.

We send our very best wishes to you all – may you stay grounded and healthy, and may we all navigate the challenges of this time with grace and love.
