Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
"This is my body" (Luke 22:19)
You are invited to come and spend time in the physical presence of Jesus. Every Friday after the 10am Mass until 14.00 there is exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in Our Lady of Sorrow's church, Bognor Regis. For those who are able, this is a wonderful ministry to come, pray for the needs of the world, and the renewal of the church.
No need to book, come at any point, for as long as you can.

Sunday Mass Schedule
Following the parish meeting with Bishop Richard on Monday 9th May, there is a letter addressed to all parishioners regarding our celebration of Mass as a parish. At this time of huge change, and challenge, let us keep each other very much in prayer, so that our celebration together of the greatest prayer may help us all ‘breathe in holiness and breathe out mission’.
A ministry update on the mission of the parishes in our deanery. |

We all have days when things aren’t easy, but as a parish we are here for you - everyone's health and wellbeing matters.
Please do get in touch – we’re here to help: where we can, ourselves, maybe a chat, or with resources, or we can signpost you to other groups and organisations. |
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.
