Description
About St John’s Foundation
St John’s Foundation is one of Bath’s oldest charities, supporting individuals and communities for over 850 years. As a historic almshouse, we continue to make a lasting difference across Bath and North East Somerset by helping older adults live independent, fulfilling lives and by working to build stronger, more resilient communities. Today, we also provide direct support to people of all ages facing financial crisis.
Everything we do is shaped by our values of trust, kindness, and courage, and by our enduring purpose: to change lives. For good.
About Our Chapels
St Michael’s Within
This beautiful chapel has been the site of prayer and worship since the charity started in 1174, and attracts many tourists and locals, as well as being a place of peace that is enjoyed by residents. The small Sunday congregation attracts both residents and some regular visitors. It is the current home to a small, gathered monastic community in Bath, Stillwaters, who meet once a month for worship, and we also hold regular weekly activities, run by external facilitators, and managed by our Good Living Team.
Magdalen Chapel
Originally part of a leprosy hospital, this historic chapel is home to a faithful congregation, growing in number, depth of faith and commitment to the community. There is active lay involvement in the services and a large team of volunteers keeping the chapel open for four sessions every week. We regularly have up to a thousand people coming in during any given year. Visitors, as well as the congregation, value this peaceful and sacred space. The character of the chapel is liberal Catholic, with a strong tradition of weekly sung holy communion. The congregation (often around 25) embraces the values of hospitality, welcome and inclusion. The chapel is a Peculiar, situated in the Parish of Widcombe, and benefits from the patronage and support of St John’s Foundation.
Combe Park
Our modern, purpose-built alms accommodation, sitting just outside the city centre, is home to around 50 people, and has a small chapel-come-meeting room and library. The congregation has dropped in number over the last year or so, but we continue to serve a small and very faithful few each week, by providing a service of Holy Communion or Evening Prayer.
