Where can I go to Mass or a Sunday church service in Gibraltar?
Short answer
Catholic Mass is said every day at the Cathedral of St Mary the Crowned on Main Street, with Sunday Masses at 9:00, 10:30 and 12:00 plus an evening Mass. The Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Trinity holds Sunday services at 8am and 11am, and visitors are welcome at both.
Detailed answer
Both cathedrals are a short walk from Casemates Square and Main Street, which makes them the easiest choice for cruise passengers and day visitors.
Catholic Mass
The Cathedral of St Mary the Crowned, 215 Main Street, has the most Masses. Under the diocese's current timetables:
- Sunday: 9:00, 10:30 and 12:00, plus an evening Mass at 18:30 (winter timetable) or 19:15 (summer timetable)
- Saturday vigil: 18:30 (winter) or 19:15 (summer)
- Weekdays: 7:30, 9:15 and 12:30, plus an evening Mass at 18:30 (winter) or 19:15 (summer)
Other churches have Sunday morning Masses too, including Our Lady of Sorrows at Catalan Bay (9:30 on the winter timetable), St Joseph's, Sacred Heart, St Theresa's, St Paul's and St Bernard's.
Anglican services
The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Cathedral Square, holds a Said Eucharist at 8am and a Sung Eucharist at 11am on Sundays, and a Said Eucharist at 10am on Wednesdays. The King's Chapel on Main Street holds a 10am service on the second and fourth Sundays of the month, except in July and August.
Other churches
Several evangelical churches hold Sunday services at 11am, including Cityline Church at Hospital Steps, which describes itself as bilingual.
Before you go
Times change between seasons and for feast days, so check the Mass and Prayer Times page on catholic.gi or the Holy Trinity website on the day. If you are on a cruise, check your all-aboard time and allow for the walk back to the terminal.
