Holy Saturday - Easter Vigil and First Mass of Easter

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Andrew the Apostle, Worthing
Victoria Rd/Clifton Rd Worthing, BN11 1XB, United Kingdom

Join us for this amazing liturgy. At 8.00pm we will gather outside a darkened church where the new fire will be lit and the Easter Candle is kindled. This powerful symbol of the risen Lord is carried into church penetrating the darkness. The Easter "Exultet" is sung and the Easter Vigil begins. After the last vigil reading, bells are rung to announce the "Return" of the Gloria, and our Easter celebrations begin, as we celebrate the glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Welcome to Saint Andrew the Apostle's website. 

We worship every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday at 10.30am in our beautiful Neo-Gothic church in the seaside town of Worthing, situated between the South Downs National Park and the South Coast of England.

The Sung Mass on Sundays lasts approximately one hour. There is an area for children to play, draw or read under the supervision of a parent or guardian. Please join us for refreshments and a friendly chat after the Mass.

The midweek Said Mass lasts approximately 30 minutes.  

You are most welcome to join with us in worship.
