About

Join St Thomas Church's Patronal Festival

All are welcome to this special Choral Evensong for our Patron Saint, Archbishop Thomas Becket, kindly supported by the Choral Evensong Trust.  Members of the East and West Sussex branches of the Prayer Book Society are also invited. 

Our singing will be led by a special choir drawn from the congregations of St Thomas, St Anne's and St Michael.  Musical direction by organist Peter Hanson.  

After the service there will be refreshments and a short history talk in Cliffe Hall.  

Saint Thomas's shrine was completed 805 years ago, on 7th July 1220 in a new chapel behind the high altar at Canterbury Cathedral, so we are delighted to hold this special service as our Patronal Festival.

No charge for refreshments, retiring collection.
