Knitted Angels

3rd December 2018 by admin

In the last few months a group of knitters have been busy creating angels in all shapes and sizes.

During the week the angels were left around the town for people to find and take home. With so much commercialism around the Christmas period, it is sometimes difficult to remember the reason we are celebrating.

These angels are a gift to the people of Littlehampton and a reminder that the gift of love is free. Regardless of the colour of your skin, your religious beliefs, the language you speak, your financial status or your age, they are for everyone.

Scaffolding around the tower

11th October 2018 by admin

Some of you may have noticed the church tower is surrounded by scaffolding at the moment.

Those of you that are observant may also have noticed that the clock faces have disappeared, well the clock faces were in bad condition and have now been fully restored making it easier to read the time from the town centre.

Also behind the scenes (or inside the tower) some other changes have been made. Since the clock was built in 1827, every week someone has climbed the long ladder into the tower to wind the clock, however with changes in health and safety and advances in technology this is no longer going to happen as the clock is being fitted with an electronic winding mechanism.

St Mary’s would like to thank John Coles and most recently Mark Hollebone, for keeping things ticking for many years.

Today Sunday 1st July is the first time in 28 years that St Mary’s, the parish church of Littlehampton, is going to be without a full time priest. On Monday 25th June we celebrated Fr Roger’s 40th anniversary of priesthood and farewell Mass. Over 200 people turned up to show their appreciation for the work that Fr Roger has done within the parish and to wish him the best in his well deserved retirement.
