We celebrate mass at the parish church every Sunday at 10 am. At the same time there is Sunday school for children. Once a month our mass is in the afternoon. At the mass we pray, sing and learn more about Jesus and God. There are also other activities at the church, as well as in our parish home in Vapaala (Ilpolankuja 2) and in our premises in Pähkinärinne (Lammaspolku 1, Lammaskuja 2 A). Most of our activities are in Finnish, but you can join us even if we do not share a common language.
If you wish to know more about God or about the activities of the parish, you can telephone us, email us or come in for a visit. You can speak with a pastor or with a deacon. If you have worries, we can pray for you. We can also help you search for ways to solve your problems.

Aikuistyö ja lähetystyö.
Terve! Olen Espoolainen nuorimies, nimeltäni Jarkko.
Ajauduin hyvässä johdatuksessa Vantaan puolelle töihin jalkapallopelien kautta. Minulle selvisi, että noin 8 kilometrin päässä kodistani on upea seurakunta täynnä hienoja ihmisiä.
Olen kiitollinen, että saan palvella juuri täällä. Toimin projektityön koordinaattorina, mutta vastuualueina ovat myös lähetystyö, jota sain itsekin tehdä Mongoliassa urheilulähetystyön merkeissä, sekä vapaaehtoistyö. Monessa saan siis olla mukana, joten varmasti näemme! :)
Minulle saa ihan rohkeasti soittaa tai tulla juttelemaan.
