A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
Christmas Eve afternoon saw people gathering for the Ordinariate Crib Service. With lights low, Fr Neil began to re-tell the story of the first Christmas. Children (and some brave adults) had come dressed as different characters. Angels, big and small, Mary, Joseph (press-ganged at the last moment), shepherds, a star, innkeeper, Wise man and assorted […]
The final Advent session focused on the last ‘O Antiphon’: “O Immanuel, you are our king and judge, the One whom the peoples await and their Saviour. O come and save us Lord our God. The first verse of ‘O come, O come Emmanuel is the one that goes with this antiphon: O come, O […]
This week’s session focused on the Antiphon for 21st December: O Rising Sun, you are the splendour of eternal light and the sun of justice. O come and enlighten those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of the deasth. The verse from ‘O Come, O come Emmanuel’ that goes with this is: O […]
Our second Advent session focused on this Antiphon: O key of David and sceptre of Israel, what you open no one else can close again; what you close no one can open. O come to lead the captive from prison, free those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. To start with, […]
On Friday 2nd December a group of people from the Ordinariate gathered at St Agnes for the first of our Advent sessions. We are using materials from the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton as a starting point and making it accessible to both adults and children. The materials focus on some of the “O” Antiphons […]
Many Ordinariate Groups held an Advent Carol Service on the First Sunday of Advent, and ours was no exception. We were fortunate and grateful to have the services of some excellent local singers and comments received so far have been very favourable. Services of readings and music tend not to be particularly well-attended, even though […]
Today
Thursday is the Solemnity of St George, Martyr, Patron of England, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 5:45pm at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below.
‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them!’
The Mass is at an unusual time because it’s followed by our St George’s Celebration, and we look forward to welcoming all who have booked for that.
St George, Martyr, Patron of Engalnd

“Jesus acted as if he were going further, but his disciples urged him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, for it is towards evening and the day is now far spent.’ So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him.”

Tomorrow is the Second Sunday of Easter, 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.
This Sunday has many names, including Dominica in Albis (“White Sunday”, from the white robes of the newly-baptised); Low Sunday (compared to the “high” Sunday of Easter itself); and Quasimodo Sunday (from the first words of the introit, “Quasi modo geniti infantes”, “Like new-born babes”). Victor Hugo’s hunchback was given the name Quasimodo because he was found on this Sunday.
“Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”
