Message from Fr Ruslan

This Weekend - 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

In this Sunday’s Gospel (Luke 21:5–19), Jesus speaks about the Temple and reminds His followers that even the most beautiful and secure things on earth do not last forever. He tells them that difficult times will come, yet they should not be afraid, for God will be with them and give them strength. These words speak deeply to us today. We live in uncertain times, with conflict, change, and anxiety often close at hand. Like the disciples, we can be tempted to place our trust in what seems stable — possessions, success, or comfort — but Jesus calls us to build our lives on something greater: faith in God’s enduring love. When we stay patient, faithful, and kind, even in hardship, we become signs of hope for others. Let us pray for the grace to persevere with calm hearts and steady trust in God’s care.

With prayers,
Fr Ruslan and the PPC

​November: Month of Remembrance

This month we especially remember our friends and family who are no longer with us. The Remembrance book is available at the back of church for you to write the names of the loved ones you will like to pray for during Mass. We will bring the book up during the offertory to pray for all those people. Donations can be made using the brown envelopes under the name “Holy Souls” or via DONA. Please contact the office to arrange mass intentions at other times. During Tuesday evening adoration this month you can to light a candle for loved ones who have passed away.

​Ecumenical Anti-Slavery Ambassadors raise awareness of modern slavery across Sussex & Surrey

Diocesan Anti-Modern Slavery Ambassadors joined representatives from The Clewer Initiative, Sussex Police, and the Mothers’ Union at St John the Evangelist, Preston, Brighton (CofE) on Saturday. The event – which took place on Anti-Slavery Day – included a range of speakers and provided an important opportunity to pray for victims and survivors, hear from experts combatting modern slavery locally and nationally, and learn more about “spotting the signs” and the various reporting mechanisms. Read more
