West Blatchington
Southwick
to the website for the Parish of Our Lady Star of the Sea, serving Southwick, Portslade, Hangleton and West Blatchington, situated in
the west of the Roman Catholic Deanery of Brighton & Hove.
We'd love to welcome you to a service at either church.
Each of our church communities has its own distinct 'feel', but we also do many things together.
Fr Tony Milner is our Parish Priest.
One of the key functions of a parish is to offer the Sacraments to people. There are seven Sacraments of the Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Marriage, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick and Reconciliation. Although sacraments always ‘work’, so to speak, for us to get the full benefit of the graces and gifts we are given through them requires our own understanding and commitment. So, for most of the sacraments, a period of preparation is needed beforehand. For some of these sacraments we offer that preparation in the parish. For others, the preparation will be done in conjunction with other church communities.
Masses are now largely 'back to normal' and you are welcome to join us at St George's or St Theresa's
Many resources are available to help you with prayer.
