Vítejte - Welcome!

Welcome to St. Clement’s, a vibrant English speaking Anglican congregation located right here in Prague – worshipping together in the heart of this beautiful city, the “City of a Hundred Spires” and a jewel of Central Europe. 

St. Clement’s belongs to the worldwide Anglican communion of Churches within the Church of England Diocese in Europe, and whether this Winter you are a tourist waiting for your Sunday afternoon flight home or return to your river cruise, a short term resident here on assignment or a long term Prague veteran, we invite you to come and join us every Sunday at 11am at St. Clement’s church, Klimentská 5, Prague 1 to enjoy Church of England Sung Eucharist together with hymns both traditional and modern, accompanied by our fabulous organ and choir.

There is a Children’s Ministry during most Sunday services too (except the holiday months of July and August each year), as well as a small area at the back of the church specially set up with toys and craft materials to keep the littlest ones entertained when there is no Children’s Ministry (or they just want to pass the time there in stead!), and there are other regular events throughout the year where you can take part too – see our Calendar of Events page for further details.

On this website you can find out everything you need to know to join us and join in, the history of Anglicanism in Prague and the history of our church at Klimentská 5, our comprehensive Safeguarding measures that are in place, and even details that you need to know if you wish to hold your wedding here or have the sad duty of organising a Remembrance Service for a loved one. Perhaps you are curious about who St. Clement was? Almost every other question you can think of is answered on our FAQs page.

If you are located in Brno we also have an Anglican church there and you can find further details here and on brnoanglican.cz.

Finally don’t forget to follow us on Social Media at Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the very latest bible readings for the day, an introduction to religious art through the ages illustrated with the most beautiful and famous artist’s creations, inspiring posts about the Czech Republic, tips to explore, and with biblical quotations, as well as details of our services and activities. We have a Young Adult Group for those between 18 and 35, and you can follow its Instagram

Our History

The first Anglican service in Prague was held on 13th November 1904 at Gerberstrasse 13 (now Barvířská Ul.). It was conducted by the Reverend Walter Naish, who had been employed by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, a missionary society founded under royal English charter as long ago as June 1701 as the official overseas missionary body of the Church of England, a Society that still exists today.

Much has happened since then as this beautiful country we live in has suffered through not only a terrible dictatorship but also Communist authoritarianism, finally becoming a fully fledged European democracy. We invite you to explore the history of Anglicanism in Prague and the Czech Republic!

Children

Just as Jesus said “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:4), all of us at St. Clement’s welcome children as full participants in our spiritual community and ensure that they are safe when they are on church premises or when they are attending a church event. We are committed to encourage an environment where all people are able to worship and pursue their faith journey in safety.

If you have any Safeguarding questions concerning children or vulnerable adults please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) Anna Caruso Hayden as your first port of call for any issues at safeguarding@anglican.cz

Mission Statement

We believe that our mission in Prague is to be Salt and Light in the world: for, like Salt, a person full of the Holy Spirit will have a preserving influence on the world and by living their Christian values they will alert people to God’s perspective on the world; and Light – for when we are full of light the world sees and gives Glory to God because of it.

When we are willing to be Salt and Light we cultivate in those we come into contact with an appetite for God – or at least a curiosity, since we are a phenomenon to them since we live in the same world and them but live differently. It makes them wonder what gives us that kind of joy.
