Welcome to St Michael and All Angels

~  The community of St Michael’s Mount Dinham extends a very warm welcome to everyone   ~

Following Government and Church of England guidance on the Covid-19 pandemic, the Church building will be OPEN on Wednesdays 9.30-10.30am for Private Prayer. All are welcome – for your safety, please follow advice from the stewards on duty.

We are delighted to share a Virtual Rogation Procession and Corpus Christi Ceremony, recorded by Fr Nigel Guthrie with Dr Richard Parker.

As the evening approaches, enjoy a recording of the ancient evening service of sung Vespers which has been sung at St Michael’s for many years.

At this time we feel there are many benefits to being in nature and spending time in sacred places, to heal feelings of isolation and despair, to celebrate our connection and purpose, and for this reason we look forward to gathering with you one day very soon.

Meanwhile, weekly services and reflections are offered online, by Fr Nigel Guthrie and others from the community of St Michael’s. The Angelus and Prayer Book Matins are also live streamed to the Friends of St. Michael’s Facebook group by Fr Nigel from the Vicarage at 09:00 am every Wednesday morning.

Events pages are still up within this website, now with linked recordings and readings. To receive the newsletter and “Pugh Sheet” by email which includes links to music and other notices, please sign up by email to Oliver Nicholson at virtualsaintmichaels@gmail.com 

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

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.
