St Anthony of Padua Church, Rye

We are an active community within the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton for Roman Catholics living in Rye and the surrounding area. Composed of people from all walks of life we offer spiritual and pastoral support in the Catholic tradition.

Our Parish is staffed by The Order of Friars Minor Conventual, “The Greyfriars” whose rule was founded by St Francis of Assisi.  The Greyfriars first arrived in Britain in 1224.
