Parish of Our Lady & the Saints of Sussex
Our parish is a community of four churches, in Chichester, Selsey, Bosham and the Witterings with seven Sunday Masses, including one in Polish, and daily weekday Masses offered by the priests of the parish. In addition to our life of worship, our churches have many missionary, pastoral and social activities and information about them can be found on this site and in the weekly Newsletter.
If you are not a Catholic but are interested in finding out about the Catholic faith, please contact the church. We would love to share with you our joy in the Good News of Jesus Christ and introduce you to life in the Catholic Church.
Our Parish Priest, Fr David along with Fr Nick Harden and Deacon Jon Harman are fully supportive of our school. Members of the clergy visit the school at different times of the year and can sometimes be seen on the playground. Fr David is responsible for training our Altar Servers who serve at Mass.
We are very well supported by the Chair of the Parish Liturgy group in planning all Masses. Our Head of School and other members of staff help to run the Children's liturgy and many members of staff are parishioners.
The children visit the church many times during the year-sometimes to celebrate Mass and sometimes to learn about Baptism, for example, or to learn about the Stations of the Cross during Holy Week.
Children in Year 3 are encouraged to participate in the First Holy Communion programme which is led by a strong team of catechists in the Parish.
