Blessing the Waters

Organised for the Association by the Whitstable Branch, The Blessing of the Waters service takes place around the time of the Feast of St James, the Patron Saint of oyster fishermen, (25 July). It is held on Reeves Beach, and is preceeded by a parade from St Peter’s Church, which stops at Starvation Point to remember the merchant seamen of Whitstable who served during the World Wars.

Unfortunately, the Association was unable to participate in the service in 2020 due to the pandemic. However, the service took place 'on-line.' For a video, please click HERE.
