A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
Saturday was a day that will live long in the memory. Our group, St Agnes people and the Penfold family gathered for Philip’s Ordination. In the prescence of our Ordinary, Mgr Keith Newton, Philip was ordained by Bishop Keiran Conry, bishop of Arundel and Brighton. There was a real sense of generousity and kindness from […]
For all of those who were unable to make Deacon Philip’s Ordination at Our Lady of the Assumption, Warwick Street in London, here are some photos. These were taken by Jenny’s brother.
In the sunshine, yesterday, priests and laity from Ordinaraite groups along the south coast gathered for mass at Greyfriars church in Priory Park, Chichester. Built in 1269, the chapel was originally a Franciscan Priory until the dissolution of the monasteries. Since then it has been the town hall, a court building, used for the army […]
Philip Penfold was ordained deacon on 27th July at Warwick Street. He deaconed for mass on the Sunday. Unfortunately it was a weekend when many were away on pilgrimage or had family events. So this Sunday we celebrated with cream tea. This is quickly becoming a tradition this summer, with so many special events. This […]
Our fourth adult Lent group focused on the figure of the Father in the Prodigal Son. We began by looking carefully at Rembrandt’s painting, the focus for Henri Nouwen’s book. We noticed the difference in the two hands, showing the maternal and paternal nature of God’s love. There is a great love in the embrace […]
We began our third family session by talking about a scene from “The Lion King” when Mufasa confronts Scar. Scar is resentful because he has lost his place a heir to the throne with the birth of Simba. He will never be king now. Scar was like the elder son in the parable of the […]

‘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.

“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.’”
