By the time you read this I hope it may be possible for you to attend Mass in person: as I write it looks likely that limited numbers will be permitted at liturgies from 4 July, but given fears about a second spike of the pandemic that may be over-optimistic. Meanwhile the daily round of Offices and live-streamed noon Mass has continued, and the number of those participating at the latter has remained steady at around 50 (computers) for weekday Low Mass and 150 on Sundays, with more on some special days like Ascension Day. This level of engagement is heartening and we are thinking about how it can be maintained once people are able to be in church again.

My prayer is that we shall now be more eager, more willing, and more cheerful about our vocation to be the disciples of Jesus Christ. Many if us will have been hugely encouraged by summer gatherings to pray, study and celebrate with other Chirstians. Within our own diocese the Household of Faith conference and the HTB Focus week at Camber have both been rich sources of grace and blessing, as have the New Wine gathering in Somerset and Walsingham’s youth pilgrimage. Now I ask your prayers for the work that lies ahead of us this autumn. Please pray for Bishop Richard and his team as they move us into the final stages of shaping our diocesan strategy for 2015 - 2020. May they enable us to be wise in the leading of the Holy Spirit, attentive to the world’s pain and energised by the enormity of God’s mission of love. Please pray also for Bishop Mark and the team that is hosting September’s Clergy Conference, Thy Kingdom Come. May this conference renew all of us who serve as deacons, priests and bishops in our conformity to Jesus Christ, our love for his body, the Church, and our compassion for the world that he has redeemed.

  • Feast of Dedication
    The Parish Church of St. Wilfrid, Bognor Feast of Dedication 7:00pm Friday 23rd April, 2010 1 St. Wilfrid’s Church was dedicated on 23rd April 1910 and built as a daughter church to St. John’s church, London Road to meet the growing needs in the west of the town. The original design by the architect George Fellowes Prynne (see below) were for a much larger 900 seat church, but three of the five bays, the bell tower and baptistery were sadly never completed. St. Wilfrid’s became the Parish Church on 25th of May 1971, when St. John's Church was closed and subsequently demolished in 1972. We give thanks to God for his blessings over the last 100 years and pray for grace to continue this ministry to the people of Bognor Regis. 2 Feast of Dedication Celebrant & Preacher The Bishop of Chichester, the Right Reverend John Hind Clergy: The Revd.
