A Message from Fr Roger & Sue Jupp

We would like to send our thanks to you all for the kindness shown to us as we took our leave of Christ Church St Leonards last Sunday. It was wonderful to see so many friends at the parish mass and at the gathering afterwards in the Parish Hall. Thank you, too, for the very generous gifts which you all gave, as well as the many individual gifts and expressions of good will. Please continue to pray for us as we move to a new home and community. We shall be praying for you, too, in the time which lies ahead. May God bless you all.


THE 103rd BISHOP OF CHICHESTER

It was announced on 3rd May that the next Bishop of Chichester is to be The Rt Revd Dr Martin Warner, currently Suffragan Bishop of Whitby in the diocese of York. This is tremendous news for our parish, as well as the diocese: Bishop Martin is a traditional catholic who has worked hard to bring about a situation in the Church of England in which people of all integrities can remain together. Many will recall his ministry as Priest Administrator of Walsingham 1993-2002 until his appointment as a Residentiary Canon of St Paul’s Cathedral. He was appointed to Whitby in 2010. Please pray for him as he prepares to take up his pastoral responsibilities in this diocese later in the year.





WELCOME


Christ Church is unashamedly Catholic in its tradition, its history and its worship. We look to the western Church as our chief source of authority in matters of faith and practice and doctrine.

Our main Sunday Service is the Parish Mass celebrated at 10.15am.
The building is imposing; our liturgy is modern catholic with traditional ceremonial.

Our congregation is open and diverse in terms of age and background.
Children and young people as well as adults participate as readers, intercessors, sidespeople, altar servers and singers.

The Mass has been celebrated daily for at least 120 years since the church’s foundation. The church is open at times during daylight hours so that all may come in and find peace, stillness and pray before the Blessed Sacrament.

WE ARE A FORWARD IN FAITH PARISH

We are glad to be Catholic and in line with our foundation and history Christ Church PCC has passed Resolutions A, B and C pursuant to the Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1992. Link to Forward in Faith

A warm welcome continues to be extended to all who wish to join our worship whatever their views.
