Welcome to the Website of the Catholic Parish of Petworth

This parish, which covers just over 100 square miles of Sussex countryside, is in the Cathedral Deanery of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.

There are two Catholic churches in the parish:
The Sacred Heart, Petworth and St. Anthony and St. George, Duncton.

These pages will introduce you to our parish community, and give you some information about the history of the parish and its buildings. We are lucky to have two very beautiful churches, but there is much more to the parish than bricks and mortar. Our parish is a lively, dedicated and friendly community of people of all ages, united by our will to love God and to make him known to others. If you would like to come and visit us, you will be very welcome.

You can access the weekly newsletter, as well as a selection of Fr Peter's homilies, via the 'documents' page in the main menu.

Fr Peter Our parish priest is Fr. Peter Newsam. He has been in the parish since September 2004. Before that he was an assistant priest at Chichester for four years, and before that at Bognor for 18 months. Fr. Peter was previously a minister in the Church of England, and he is married with two children.

A link has now been added to the Shrine of Our Lady of Montligeon in France - a centre of prayer for the dead. The shrine does excellent work, and I recommend a visit to the website to find out more. It can be accessed through our links page.
