History
Foundation
In 1862, Augusta Fitzalan-Howard, Duchess of Norfolk, paid for a church to be built in Littlehampton. She was also behind the building of St John the Evangelist Church in Heron's Ghyll. She paid Matthew Ellison Hadfield to design a set of buildings in Littlehampton comprising a church, presbytery and school. However, the plans were changed and in the end, a presbytery and church were built. The church simply consisted of a nave and sanctuary.[3]
Construction
From 1883 to 1884, further construction was done on the church. Again, this was designed by Hadfield. A further aisle was added expanding the capacity of the church and a gallery was built.[3]
Extension
In 1904, the church was extended. The architectural firm was Pugin & Pugin. The building was expanded eastwards by the enlarging of the sanctuary. A chapel, St Joseph's Chapel, was added to the north side of the church and a separate entrance for it was made. In addition, two confessionals were built as well as a new altar and pulpit. The altar was made by Messrs R. L. Boulton & Sons from Cheltenham and cost £340. The stained glass windows that were installed were made by Cox & Barnard from Hove.[3]
Parish
Within St Catherine's parish is St Joseph's Church in Rustington. It was built from 1949 to 1950 and designed by John D. Hicks.[4]
St Catherine's Church has three Sunday Masses at 6:30pm on Saturday and at 9:00am (in Portuguese) and 11:00am on Sunday. St Joseph's Church has one Sunday Mass at 9:00am.[2]
