Public Worship at St. Johns

The church building is usually open for private prayer, visitors etc, nominally 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily

Our Sunday Parish Mass takes place at 10:30 a.m, keeping in mind the particular needs of our church congregation. It is also being recorded and available to watch online. We make it available on our Broadcast pageby about lunchtime on Sundays, all being well.

The Sunday 8:00 a.m. Mass aims to provide a more Covid-cautious worship environment

Midweek Mass is celebrated on Wednesdays at 10 a.m.

Keeping St Johns a safer place for all

You may be aware that we now have improved security lighting around the church hall and introduced CCTV around the church.  Along with regular patrols from the Police Community Support Officers this has reduced the amount of drug related activity in the church grounds.  Thanks to the superb work of the gardening team the gardens are now a lovely space for the local community to enjoy.  There is CCTV inside the church too which is not active during worship but does mean we can open the church during the day for anyone to come in and find peace, pray or perhaps light a candle.  St Johns has received a grant from Safer Hastings Partnership JAG to enable us to install these security systems.
