Welcome!
Whether you are new to the area
or just visiting our lovely countryside and bustling communities,
we hope that you find
something of interest and, if you are able to join us, a warm welcome.
About us
Our Pastoral Area serves the Catholic community in Portswood, Swaythling and in the area
between the Rivers Itchen and Hamble and around the M27 motorway in sunny Hampshire.
Why are we here?
We are here because we are called by God to stand as witnesses for the Christian Faith to the world and to those around us in our local communities.
We believe that the answers to the fundamental questions about life and the universe
lie in the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church. We can only come to know true peace and happiness by opening our hearts
and lives to the Holy Spirit.
A thank you . . .

The Lord asks us to be joyous heralds of the message of mercy and hope!
It is thrilling to experience the joy of spreading this good news,
sharing the treasure entrusted to us, consoling broken hearts
and offering hope to our brothers and sisters experiencing darkness.
