Catholic Deanery of Eastbourne and St Leonards
Our churches
Our new Single Parish is formed of communities at fifteen churches, split almost equally between a West Hub and an East Hub. Each community, led by its priest, holds a Sunday Eucharistic celebration weekly and during each week a wide variety of additional faith and community focussed services, devotions, events and meetings can be accessed. We are lucky to be rich with opportunity to be a bigger part of our Catholic Faith together and should access as much as we can as families of faith. Listed below are each of our church communities, current clergy and contact details along with links to their websites.
