Following Jesus isn't easy, having others who can walk with you is essential. In Bognor & Slindon there are lots of opportunities to meet with others to deepen in faith. You are invited and welcome to get involved with everything listed here!

theASCENT is a three year discipleship process for Catholic young people in years 10 -12 who want to embrace their faith in Jesus Christ at a whole new level and learn how to share it with others. First launched in 2013 at the Sion Catholic Community for Evangelism, the process is currently run in three locations around the UK, where over 100 young people have or are participating. Two young people from this parish - Lucy and Melissa - are currently taking part. Click here for for a podcast of their experiences. |

The Ruth group
We are The Ruth Group, we are women like you, single, married, mums, widows and grandmas. The Ruth Group is made up of women from all walks of life, different ages and from different backgrounds and cultures.
We all want to grow in our spirituality, to develop the tools to live our Christian life in the best way possible. It can be hard to find time in our busy lives to renew our faith. When our group gathers we help to refresh each other’s faith, remind ourselves of truth, share scripture, laugh, cry and pray together over our joys and struggles.
We meet every 6 weeks in evening, keep an eye on the weekly newsletter for upcoming gatherings. We share friendship, faith, reflection, inspiration prayer and support ….. and sometimes we sing!
