In September 2003 the two former United Beneifices of St. Paul and St. Clement with St. Andrew (Malpas) and St. George and St. John were brought together under one parish priest. The four legal parish entities still remain but are now administered as one benefice.
Our four lively Parish Churches represent a cross section of Anglican tradition. St. George's in St. George's Road is orthodox traditional, St. Clement in the village of St. Clement is 'middle of the the road' Anglican and St. John's in Lemon Street modern Catholic. Vestments are worn in all churches and the Blessed Sacrament is reserved at St. George's and St. Clement's.
Sadly, St. Paul's Church, Agar Road, which has been a prominent an iconic Christian building in Truro for almost a century and a half, has had to close for health and safety reasons. The east end and tower of the church are in a precarious condition and threaten the safety of worshippers. The Christian community of St. Paul's elected to move to St. John's Church in Lemon Street and join with the Christian community there for worship.
The parish of St. Paul, Truro remains and although the parish church is no longer available exciting things are happening in the parish. These are focussed on our church school, Archbishop Benson, which is now a licensed place of worship, and includes "Holy Commotion!" on Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm and the "Emmaus" course.
For details of our weekly services, our various activities, including Concerts please follow the relevant links in the side menu.
Within the Benefice we have a Church of England Voluntary Aided School, Archbishop Benson, which is closely linked to St. Paul's. We also have a number of links abroad for whom we pray regularly.
