The Chaplaincy of St. Vincent's stretches along the entire Algarve coast. There are three congregations. Only one meets in an Anglican church while the other two are privileged to have their services in local Roman Catholic churches courtesy of the Bishop of the Algarve.

The chaplaincy is served by the Senior Chaplain Rev Haynes Hubbard his wife Sue who live in Casa do Jardim in the village of Praia da Luz. There is the Team Chaplain Rev. Michael Grantham based at Boliquieme.

The Western congregation meets in the Praia da Luz village church, Nossa Senhora da Luz. Praia da Luz is 7km west of Lagos.

The Central congregation meets in the Nossa Senhora de Fatima church near Almancil. From the west travel in the direction of Almancil on the N125 as far as the traffic lights where the Loulé Quarteira road crosses the N125.(Quatro Stradas) Continue straight on past the BP Petrol stations. Just after this, about 500m from the traffic lights, turn right up a small steep road to the church. From the East, after the Almancil turn off, continue to the traffic lights at Quatro Strados and u-turn left in front of the first bollard which is hatched. Proceed as instructed above.

The Eastern congregation uses the St. Luke's Anglican Church at the Monte Palhagueira Retirement Village south of the road between Loulé and Sao Bras. When travelling from Loulé to S. Bras turn right onto the road to Gorjoes and Santa Barbara 7 km out of Loulé. 2.7 km along this road Monte Palhagueira is signposted up the hill to the left.

The St. Vincent's Chaplaincy is part of the Diocese in Europe and the worldwide Anglican Communion.
