A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
At the festival, we saw the full strength and beauty of the Ordinariate. We are part of an exciting project as Catholics called to live and serve Our Lord in the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. We have been given a role and opportunity for which so many gone before us prayed. The Festival reminds us of the amazing grace of God, of the beauty of His church and of our calling to celebrate and proclaim the Good News in the context of the Anglican Patrimony.
When we acknowledge our sins before God, we discover not a closed door, but the open arms of a merciful Father. That is why the Sacrament of Reconciliation is such a gift. God’s mercy gives us the grace to start again.
England’s ancient title as Mary’s Dowry reminds us of a Christian heritage entrusted to Our Lady, who always leads us towards her Son, Jesus Christ. Today, that heritage is not simply something to remember, but a call to renewal, to rebuild our families, communities and nation upon Christ and once again bear good fruit.
Jesus established a profound principle at the heart of Catholic Social Teaching: religious tradition and social structures exist to serve human life, not to constrain compassion. St. Teresa lived this principle with radical clarity.
John’s death asks each of us a simple question: When the teaching of Christ becomes difficult, are we prepared to remain faithful?
We live among competing claims — about power, success, identity, truth and what gives life meaning. The question Jesus asks has not changed: “Who do you say that I am?” It is not merely a question requiring a theological answer. It is an invitation to consider our own relationship with Christ.
Today
Tomorrow is the Solemnity of All Saints, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 11:30am at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below. For this feast we’re using the Missa de Angelis, the music for which is in the service booklets.
There are lots of ways of praying for those whom we have loved and see no longer, during this time of remembrance, including Masses on All Souls’ Day, and having candles lit in church. Details are in the notices.
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’

Jesus said to the lawyer, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.’
