You are invited to join us for any part of the day you are able to. Please indicate on the sign up sheet if you would like to walk with us or join us for soup lunch.

So far, we only have a small team of walkers for the Big Lent Walk who will be helping us to achieve a collective target of 200km on the day. We need 40 people in total. Please join us!  For more information about sponsorship and how to join our walking team please  follow this link:

We are pleased to announce that, in place of the previously scheduled gathering on March 26th, we will now be hosting a special Jubilee Year of Reflection and Worship for the new parish of Eastbourne and St Leonards. This event will take place at St Wilfrid’s Church on Saturday, April 5th, starting at 10:00 am. It will be a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a parish community to reflect on the significance of the Jubilee Year 2025 and what it means to be a ‘Pilgrim of Hope’. We encourage as many parishioners as possible to join us for this special occasion of prayer, reflection, and fellowship. More details will follow soon. We look forward to sharing this meaningful time with you.
