A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
This morning, a group from Eastbourne will be heading north, to Walsingham ready for the Ordinariate Pilgrimage on Saturday. A historic day, it is also a chance of us to gather and meet up with other Ordinariate members, not easy when our part of the Catholic Church is non-geographical. Walsingham is a key part of […]
Last weekend several of us headed up to Walsingham for the first Ordinariate Pligrimage. For some of us, it was returning to a place that is close to our hearts and the scene of many times of drawing close to God. For one of our party it was a first time experience. We began in […]
Today
Tomorrow is the Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity, 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. We’re using the Missa de Sancta Maria Magdalena this weekend, the music for which is in the printed Mass booklets. This Sunday, Fr Neil is away leading the parish pilgrimage to Poland, and we welcome Fr Nicholas Leviseur from Saint Anselm's Roman Catholic Church in Pembury to celebrate Mass.
Jesus told his disciples this parable, ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the labourers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. He did the same at the third, sixth, ninth and eleventh hours. And at the end of the day he paid them. When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house. But he replied to one of them, “Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?” So the last will be first, and the first last.’

Who is the Ordinariate actually for?
It's a bigger family than people often assume. You may be able to join us if:
⭐You're coming from outside the Catholic Church altogether and want to become Catholic.
⭐You're a cradle Catholic who never completed your Sacraments of Initiation, and want to complete them through the Ordinariate, a path Pope Francis opened in 2013.
⭐You've already completed your sacraments, but you marry an Ordinariate member, or a close family member (a child baptised within an Ordinariate group, for instance) becomes one.
⭐You're already Catholic, received via a diocese, but came from the Anglican tradition originally: you're still welcome to join the Ordinariate now.
And if none of these quite fit, but you've found a home in one of our groups, you don't have to stay on the outside: speak to your local pastor about becoming an Associate Member.
