First Communions 2010


Congratulations to our First Communion children, seen here with Fr Peter, and to their families.

May the love of The Lord bring you peace and joy!
Prayer in Preparation for Pope Benedict's Visit to Britain

God of truth and love,
your Son, Jesus Christ, stands as the light
to all who seek you with a sincere heart.
As we strive with your grace
to be faithful in word and deed,
may we reflect the kindly light of Christ
and offer a witness of hope and peace to all.
We pray for Pope Benedict
and look forward with joy
to his forthcoming visit to our countries.
May he be a witness to the unity and hope
which is your will for all people.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Our Lady, Mother of the Church — pray for us.
St Andrew — pray for us.
St George — pray for us.
St David — pray for us.

Our 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, and a selection of Fr Peter's homilies, via the 'documents' page in the main menu.
