As Portslade was only three miles from Brighton with good railway links, Fr. Enraght SSC was able to continue as an officer of the Brighton Branch of the Society of the Holy Cross. This was described by its national leadership "as one of the most promising and was carrying on a vigorous campaign in Brighton." While living in Brighton and Portslade, Fr. Enraght also served as the Organising Secretary for the National Association for the Promotion of Freedom of Worship and campaigned for the abolition of "pew-rents." St Andrew Church Portslade (built in 1864), was one of the first churches in Sussex never to have had "pew-rents".
