The Catholic Diocese of Arundel & Brighton

The Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton was formed in 1965. Our diocesan church family includes more than 70 parishes across Sussex and Surrey, offering spiritual enrichment and life-long support to the faithful and those in the wider community.

Our excellent Catholic schools educate and nurture more than 34,600 children, making the person of Jesus known and loved while placing the teaching of the Catholic Church at the centre of people’s lives. There are three central elements to the life of our Diocese: Prayer, Formation and Mission. Speaking about their importance Bishop Richard Moth said:

'Prayer, Formation and Mission are core to our purpose of proclaiming The Word who is Life; we are Christ’s instruments... This is the mission of the Church, the new evangelisation.'
