Welcome to our website! The church for the parish of Christ Church, St Mary Magdalen and St Peter & St Paul St Leonards on Sea.
​
Everyone is welcome to come to any Mass, event, or book a place on any course we offer. Mass is offered every day of the week, Monday 7pm, Tuesday and Wednesday 10:30am, Thursday and Friday 7pm. Saturday Mass 10:30am. Sunday Mass at 8am and Parish Mass 10:30am. At every Mass there is the opportunity to receive Holy Communion or a blessing.
​
The church building is grade 2* listed so offers additional interest for general visitors to have a look around. The church is open everyday for Mass, private prayer and visitors.
Christ Church is also about serving the local community of central St Leonards with community and social events throughout the year.
Community Feedback
May 13th 2025 will see our Church celebrate 150 years of being open for worship. As part of the preparations for the events we are interested to know how Christ Church could better serve the local community. This might be through better use of our buildings or by providing extra services of any kind with the needs of those living in central St Leonards at the forefront.
We are also interested in finding out who uses and visits the Church either for prayer, visiting, for an event or anything else. Using the form on this website as an additional method of submitting your thoughts. Paper forms are available at the back of the church this form can also be downloaded, printed and handed to one of the volunteers when you are next in the Church or when you visit.
