Current events
Saint Barthélemy, an overseas collectivity of France, is debating plans to rebuild its hospital on the current site in Gustavia. In October 2026 several areas lost power during urgent repairs at the power plant, and the island's largest hotel has been sold and will reopen under a new name on 1 November.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Spiritual landscape
Most people are Christian, and the Catholic Church is the island's most important institution, with churches in Gustavia and Lorient and a chapel in Colombier. There is a small Anglican community and a small Pentecostal community.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for Saint Barthélemy. Give wisdom to those deciding the future of the hospital, and care for the sick, the elderly and their carers. Bless the workers who serve the island. Let Your love be known in every church and home. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
