Services of Worship

In Järvenpää the main parish service is held on Sundays at 10 a.m. in Järvenpää church.

Church services mediate the message regarding the meaning of life, eternity and the final destination of mankind. They also act as the instrument of God's blessing on the worshipper.

The worship service or mass is a shared parish celebration and is held every Sunday and feast day. The church service is a time when God nurtures our faith and serves us.

There are other services in a variety of styles available at other times and on other days: Taizé mass, quiet communion, international communion services. More information
