ENGLISH MASS

Welcome to the website of the Sint Lodewijkskerk. The English translation is, "The Church of Saint Louis". The Sint Lodewijkskerk is situated in the center of the city of Leiden in The Netherlands. Our group of English speaking parishioners, who are visiting and actively participating in our parish-life, is expanding. We hope that also you will have a warm welcome and have "a-home-away-from-home" in our beautiful church.

English Mass and more.

You are also most welcome to join us in our DAILY MASS , and especially in the English mass, which is every Sunday at 17.00. Every first Sunday of the month, there is “Meet & Greet”: coffee after mass, which is a wonderful opportunity to meet and socialize with each other. During Summer, there is no English mass for a few weeks. You are more than welcome at the Sunday Mass at 10.00 am.

Every week from Friday 14.00 o'clock until Saturday 14.00 o'clock the chapel is open for adoration.

St. Michael's prayer group

The program

You are welcome to join us for an hour of Eucharistic adoration, while meditating on the readings from the upcoming Sunday. Throughout the hour there will be moments of silence alternated with the reading of some Bible verses, reflections and prayers to help us dive deeper into Gods word spoken to us. We will finish the evening by praying to St. Michael and placing all our prayers and intentions into our Lady’s hands.

Why Saint Michael?

In a world where it becomes more difficult to find time for prayer and living out our faith we want to unite ourselves with St. Michael. To ask his intercession and protection during these prayer evenings where we try to grow closer in love towards eachother and God. I am going to send an angel in front of you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. (Ex. 23:20)
