We celebrate Holy Mass at 11.00am on the second and fourth Sunday of each month at the All Saints Chapel, just off Margrieta Prinsloo Street. Our local contact person is Ms. Joyce Gleeson:  0836618725.

St John the Baptist is an Anglican chapel attached to the Parish of St Jude’s in Oudtshoorn. Our rector visits the village on the fourth Sunday of the month to conduct a bilingual Communion service at 9.00am.

On the other Sundays we hold the service of Morning Prayer in the church in English at 9.00am and in our hall in North-end in Afrikaans at 10.00am.  Visitors are most welcome. We have a brochure on the history of the church (which is a National Monument). Please telephone Andrew and Ailsa Tudhope: 023 5411 211 if you wish to view the building.
