Confirmation discernment
At Baptism, we begin a life-long journey and a way of life. At Confirmation, the graces received in Baptism are sealed with the reception of the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
In Arundel & Brighton diocese the Sacrament of Confirmation is typically received by young adults, who are in Year 10 / age 14-15, baptised, and prepared with the help of the parish community and Catholic secondary schools.
See the link below for more information, dates, and registration.
We kick off on Tue 29th Sept.

Safeguarding in Bognor Regis & Slindon parish
The welfare and safeguarding of our children and vulnerable adults is a matter of concern for us all. Our parish is committed to the care of all our parishioners.
The role of the Diocesan Safeguarding Office is to assist parishes in their work with vulnerable groups to ensure a safe environment for all concerned. It is also the point of contact for all allegations of abuse of children or adults at risk in the diocese and offers assistance and advice to survivors and victims of abuse.

GREETINGS FROM THE PARISH PRIEST
Peace be with you!
New to the area or lived around here for ages? Either way you are welcome!
Our vision is to be a parish where we follow Jesus, who are on fire with his love, share his love with each other and the world.
Many of us can relate to this vision, but we can always be more.
Through our parish I hope you can take your next step in following Jesus. Every week there are plenty of things going on to help you deepen in relationship with God, and to then put your faith into action.
This website lists everything that goes on in the parish, and you are invited to it all.
