My 87 year old father-in-law has just arrived from the UK to live with us in St Laurent de la Salanque.
He would like to go to church and is used to Church of England services.
Does anyone have any ideas where he might attend a church with similar service?

I'm not terribly well up on this sort of thing,but didn't there used to be aplace in Perpignan called River Church that adverised in Le 66? It did services in English,but whether it was Cof E ,I couldn't say.....

It did, John.

I also think there's somewhere out Vernet way, if my memory serves me right. More than that, I can't say, sorry.

Hello, neighbour.
If your father-in-law is used to a pretty high church service (vestments and so on), he might not object too much to the St. Laurent service.
It seems a shame to drag him all the way to Vernet every sunday since he is quite elderly.
It would be a different matter if he were just staying for a couple of weeks on holiday.
P'raps we can get him to meet my almost 85 year old mother who will be visiting us some time during the summer.
Does he like talking?
If so, they will have something in common.

Hi Gill
Here are a couple of possibilities - if they are not what you are looking for, I would imagine they would be able to point you in the right direction.
Best of Luck

Mine (86) will be over soon too - not into religion I'm afraid but will definitely be looking for some company of his own age for senior fun and frollicks.

He can't be English? With a name like that I would rather expect him to be reciting Dylan Thomas!!

Kate, he's just getting over a serious illness. We don't want him over-exerting himself do we ?!

He can just sit and listen to my mum - that's not too strenuous.
He can even nod off and wake up a bit later - she won't notice and she'll still be talking.

When the oldies appear, give us a shout and we can drop them off together somewhere for a chat!!

What an excellent idea. Let's forget about the girl's night out and have an over 80s frolick club instead.

...now that sounds more like Serge's cup of tea.

polremy · Post by **polremy** » Thu 09 Apr 2009 22:03

he can still come in drag if he likes.

Serge · Post by **Serge** » Thu 09 Apr 2009 22:09

Sorry, don't do drag ....................

Think you 'girls' would probably last longer at an 80's bash
