Saint Martha

John 11:19-27

‘I am the resurrection and the life.

If anyone believes in me, even though he dies he will live,

​

and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

Do you believe this?’

​

‘Yes, Lord,’ she said

‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world.’

Altar

Baby Loss Awareness

To remember bereaved parents, their families and friends

​

To commemorate the lives of babies who died during pregnancy, at or soon after birth and in infancy.

Our altar is dedicated to baby loss awareness remembering bereaved parents, their families and friends, to commemorate the lives of babies who died during pregnancy, at or soon after birth and in infancy.

Candles are available at the altar:

"Lighting a candle is a prayer

When we are gone it stays alight,

Kindling in the hearts and minds of others

The prayer we have already offered,

For those who have died,

For ourselves,

And for those who are grieving.

Having been in contact with  a number of organisations you will find lots of material on the altar in the form of leaflets and contact information to signpost you, and it highlights bereavement support and services available for anyone affected by the death of a baby at any stage. 

THE MISCARRIAGE ASSOCIATION (www.themiscarriageassociation.org.uk)

Miscarriage is the most common kind of pregnancy loss, affecting around one in four pregnancies.

​

SANDS (Stillborn and Neonatal Death)  (www.sands.org.uk)

SANDS supports anyone who has been affected by the death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth.

The Church of the Sacred Heart is served by  the Verona Fathers (Comboni Missionaries) within the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. Our Church offers the liturgical, sacramental and  pastoral services that a Catholic might expect.

There is a Pastoral Team responsible for the organization of all the aspects of the Church in different ministries. 

We are fortunate enough to be able to provide good parking facilities; a hall and kitchen which are available for church-related activities; meeting rooms; toilets; access for the disabled; and a loop system for those with hearing difficulties.

The main house is home to a Community of Verona Fathers, one of whom, Fr. Julio  Ocaña, is charged with the pastoral care of all who attend Church here.
