News! St Michael’s, Mount Dinham, is a Pokestop in the #PokemonGO game. So please visit us, and if we’re open come in and have a look around. We have some interesting characters of our own. We also have a topical Lecture and Organ & Theremin Recitals in July & August; please check Events/twitter for any updates.

Sung Masses and monthly Evensongs continue with reduced resources over the Summer. We hope you can join us in worship, prayer and fellowship.

Our 2 juvenile peregrine falcons have fledged and should spend the next few months around the Church with the adults learning to fly confidently and hunt for themselves before dispersing to try and find their own territory late in the Autumn – any donations to help with the cost of streaming video from their nest box to the website over the past 4 months would be welcome. Thank you.

As we reach the end of the University year, we say thanks & farewell to Michael, our Tenor Choral Scholar, as he graduates and leaves Exeter. We hope that Saffron, Miranda and Amy will continue with us in September.
