Welcome
Welcome to Como
Home to the most beautiful of the Italian lakes, and to the Church of the Ascension at Cadenabbia, one of Lago di Como’s most beautiful churches.
We have offered worship and fellowship to English-speaking visitors and residents since the 1880s, and we look forward to welcoming you in person. Whether you are living in the Como area and looking for an English-language church community, visiting for a holiday, or looking for the perfect place to celebrate your marriage, we are here for you.

Our vision
We are an international Anglican church made up of permanent and semi-permanent residents centred at the historic church of the Ascension in Cadenabbia, Lake Como, Italy.
We welcome visitors and those living and working locally of Christian belief to share in the joy and love of God, meeting Christ in worship, prayer and reflection and in other community activities.
We aim to offer an inclusive, healing and thoughtful space and welcome to all; to strengthen and grow our community and its members spiritually, supporting and encouraging one another; to take responsibility for the ministry of the Church, including the historic building: and to reach out generously to others.
