New Priest in Charge Licenced - 11th May 2006


We welcome Father Felix Mascarenhas to lead our community.

Fr Felix was installed by the Bishop of Chichester on the 11th May 2006.  We are looking forward to working with Felix and Susan in parish ministry. Please hold Felix and Susan in your prayers as they start this new stage in their life.  

Felix was previously curate in charge of Westhampnett. Father Felix studied theology at the Seminary of Pilar from 1977 until 1982, and was ordained deacon in the Roman Catholic Church in Pilar in 1982. Further study followed at the Pontifical University of Urbaniana between 1984 and 1988 which resulted in both a Licentiate and Doctorate in Canon Law. From 1988 until 2002, Father Felix was Parish priest in Aprilia, Italy during which time he was involved in the construction of a new parish complex. Father Felix moved to England in May 2002 to study at Cuddesdon and then to St. Peter ad Vincula in Wisborough Green in July 2002. Father Felix married Susan in 2003.
