We have a date! September 14th is the Sunday when the Bishop will come to inaugurate the Parish of Brighton and Hove made up of the existing Communities of the area. It will happen during a 5.30pm Mass in St John the Baptist Church, Kemp Town – the oldest Church in Brighton. More details will follow. You may like to read more on the diocesan website.
First Holy Communions
Six children will take the next steps in their Christian journey as they receive holy Communion for the first time.
It always reminds us of the words spoken at our Baptisms- “In Holy Communion they will share the banquet of Christ’s sacrifice…”
Pilgrims To Lourdes
Over 700 Pilgrims from the Diocese will be journeying to Lourdes by the end of this week. Keep them in your prayers as they will do so for us.
You can participate by going to Useful Websites, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes – to visit the Grotto and join in the Masses and Processions. Read also the item in the Diocesan ebulletin and the Diocesan website. Bishop Richard will also be speaking to the Diocese during the time.

To be in your presence,
To sit at your feet
Where your love surrounds me
And makes me complete
This is my desire O Lord, this in my desire.
