In this Jubilee year of hope please join me, Bishop Philip on our Diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes from 7th to 11th July 2025 when we can carry the flame of hope in procession with our sick brothers and sisters; sing the song of hope in the language of every nation gathered; and pray to Mary, the Way of Hope.

To find out more and to book a place please, telephone 07780 221686 or write to Canon PJ Smith at St Edmund’s House, Bishop Crispian Way, Portsmouth PO1 3QA.

Application forms are also available at the Parish Office.

Thank you all so much for your generosity. £2286 will be sent to CAFOD to support people like Lokho who need a safety net to survive in these times of climate change and war. A special thanks to the St Patrick’s Day party people who had a collection and to Renate, Greg, Anne and Pierre who gave the talks after Mass. If anyone missed the collection or would like to donate further, please support our two primary schools and Yve Rose who are doing the Big Lent Walk. Again, thank you all for your faithful support and your prayers.

Please contact the Parish Office for pre-orders of the new Weekday Missals.

There is also a release of a Daily Missal (Note: due to it being both Sunday and Weekday it is a large volume).

Prices approximately £55 – £69.99 respectively.
