About Us

Welcome to the Parish of Saint Andrew the Apostle in Worthing, West Sussex.

Saint Andrew's is a stunning Neo-Gothic Victorian church building which was built in the 1860s. Our parish has about 12 roads and is one of the smallest parishes in the Diocese of Chichester.  

Nevertheless, we are a parish community with a big heart, and we welcome everyone to our beautiful church.

The style of our worship is in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. We use incense, vestments and candles to enhance our worship. The worship is relaxed and friendly, a time for prayer and togetherness.

The Mass (also known as the Eucharist or the Holy Communion) is central to our life at Saint Andrew's. This service was given to us by Jesus himself when he asked his followers to "Do this in remembrance of me." And so, in obedience to His command, we do this every Sunday, and twice in the week, too.  Through our participation in the Mass, we find that we are strengthened to become the "Body of Christ" in our own community and indeed in the world today.

Please join us for worship or pop in for a visit. You will be most welcome.
