GREETINGS FROM THE PARISH PRIEST
Peace be with you! Throughout restrictions to our movements, be they national lock downs or the various tiers of restriction, the Catholic parish of Bognor & Slindon remains here in the service of those around us as we follow Jesus, and share his love with the whole world.
With legal limits on numbers removed, it is not currently necessary to book places for Mass. However, with sensitivity to the different pace at which people feel safe to return to Mass, please note: the front right area of Our Lady of Sorrows will continue as an area where places of prayer are set at 1m apart, and these spaces will need to be booked by clicking here.
