Over the years, St Michael’s Mount Dinham has drawn to itself a diverse group of people with a generous spirit. It holds an atmosphere which is festive, reverential and heart warming. At its core, the faithful preservation of Anglo-Catholic liturgy, music and ritual provide the framework for services, events and celebrations throughout the year.

Join us at one of our Events! You will find a warm welcome, a community spirit and the love of God for everyone, whether your connection is new or long standing. Through a common heartfelt association with St Michael’s Mount Dinham, people join us as congregation, audience members, artists, stewards and sidespersons and members of the choir.

The Diaspora: Throughout the year, special Feast Days and events draw together members of the wider communities of St Michael’s; known as its diaspora. Although the Church’s own parish boundary is the extent of the physical footprint of the building, many experience St Michael’s as home to a network of communities which extend from the locality of Mount Dinham, across the City of Exeter and the South West region to across the United Kingdom and also internationally.

Partnerships: St. Michael’s is fortunate to enjoy key partnerships and associations in the locality. See our Neighbours and Partners page for more information.

Keeping in touch online: Our friends and diaspora is also much more even than those who are able to join us in person on Mount Dinham. Thanks to the digital age and new ways of connecting through the pandemic, St Michael’s has been able to keep in touch online through streamed services, activity and discussions. Perhaps unique to St Michael’s, many still join regular worship through the live broadcasting of the evening service of Plainchant Vespers, offered at 6:00 pm every Tuesday and Thursday in church or live via Facebook.

Noteable alumni: The Revd. Dr John Hughes (1978-2014), was Dean of Jesus College Cambridge and formerly Curate of this St Michael’s Mount Dinham. His extraordinary gifts and character leave a legacy that is still felt today. Read his obituary here.
