About...
us
Felixstowe is a seaside resort in the county of Suffolk (UK), located on a peninsula lying between two rivers - Orwell and Deben - and the North Sea with a total population of approximately 30,000 residents.
Our parish comprises Felixstowe, Walton, Trimley St. Mary and Trimley St. Martin. We are geographically, but never spiritually, the furthest away from our Diocesan Cathedral (St. John The Baptist) in Norwich, Norfolk.
Much work is carried out within the Parish and you can find out more here.
our website
Our website is regularly updated with news and content about parish life and the Catholic Faith.
"...it is essential that we see our engagement with the world of the media as a vital part of that new evangelisation to which the Holy Spirit is now summoning the Church throughout the world…The special challenge before you is to find ways to ensure that the voice of the Church is not marginalised or silenced in the modern arena of the media...the Church must enter the great forum of the media with courage and confidence...I urge you, in all your planning, to make room for Christ. In the print media, in radio and television and the Internet...then the mass media will be a world of genuine communication, a world not of illusion, but of truth and joy."
Pope John Paul II, address to the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, 2002
our Parish Priest
 | My
name is Fr. David Hennessy and I have only recently become parish
priest at St Felix, following the sudden death in March 2007 of my
much-loved predecessor, Fr John McNally, who had been parish priest
here for thirteen years. I have been a priest for just nine years, having had a life in teaching as a De La Salle Brother for over twenty-one years prior to that. If there is anything I, or this parish, can do for you please get in touch by visiting, phoning or email. Best Wishes + Fr David (June 2007) |
