Worship is live-streamed on our Facebook Page daily.

Worship at St James’s is offered in the Catholic Tradition of the Church of England; this means our worship is richly sacramental and devotional in character, centred on Christ in the Mass – the Eucharist or Holy Communion – the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.

Mass is celebrated each weekday at 6.30pm (lasting 30mins) and each Sunday morning at 10.30am (a fuller liturgy lasting 1 hr 10 mins). In addition, on certain Sundays in term-time, a Family Mass is celebrated at 12.15pm.

On Sundays, the Mass is enriched by strong preaching, fine sacred music, and the singing of traditional congregational hymns. After Mass there is always a convivial time of hospitality.

From our life of worship, Christ sends us out in mission to the world for which he suffered, died, and rose victorious over the grave.

Christ bids you come!

Some good news on our damaged Te Deum window, vandalised in 2024!

The accredited conservator who will be restoring the window to its former glory has visited St James and advised that work can begin in Spring 2025. It’s hoped that the works will take around sixteen weeks. Our GoFundMe campaign has been able to offset the excess of our insurance against the window damage for which we are very grateful. The man responsible for the vandalism has pleaded guilty of the damage, and is on a restraining order not to enter the Sussex Gardens area.’
