Gibraltar: Mediterranean Mission to Seafarers

The Mediterranean Mission to Seafarers Gibraltar is a kindred society of Mission to Seafarers of which Her Majesty The Queen is Patron. In the early days the Mission operated from a Nissan hut in the port area and even had its own launch ‘The Flying Angel’ which was used to visit ships anchored in the bay.
The Dean of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity currently acts as the Mission to Seafarers Port Chaplain. Along with other appointed ships’ visitors from the Cathedral he works in partnership with clergy and lay colleagues from the Roman Catholic Apostleship of the Sea, the Sailors Society and other faith groups to meet the spiritual needs of seafarers visiting Gibraltar. The Dean and his colleagues are available to offer Christian services, spiritual support and opportunities for prayer and quiet reflection. There is also a Flying Angel and Port Authority Club that is managed on behalf of Mission to Seafarers.
