About Saint Michael

Saint Michael is a Roman Catholic church in Worthing, West Sussex. It is part of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.

Introduction

The former Worthing Deanery parishes, including Worthing – St Michael, were reconfigured as one moderated parish.

History

St Michael – Worthing is part of the Eastern Hub Community with Worthing & Lancing and Shoreham with Steyning & Upper Beeding. In January 2024, the third Pastoral Plan for the Diocese was issued, appointing an Episcopal Vicar for Pastoral Planning.

Visiting

The Parish Council serves as an annual synodal-style forum in the new parish. The Bishop has entrusted the pastoral care of previous parishes to a team of priests in solidum, in accordance with Canon 517 §1. The previous parishes include Littlehampton & Rustington, East Preston, Goring by the Sea, Worthing, Worthing & Lancing, and Adur Valley. The priests share pastoral responsibility for the faithful of these previous parishes, with one appointed as Moderator.

The Bishop or his delegate may review the functioning of the in solidum arrangement periodically. Adjustments to the structure may be made with the Bishop's approval.
