Welcome to Havant Pastoral Area

Based on the Vision of the Diocese of Portsmouth called 'Go Out and Bear Fruit',
we are a cluster of five Parishes in South East Hampshire. We are endeavouring
to work collaboratively for the mission entrusted to us by the Lord.

In many ways there is an excitement about our mission because we are
challenged to embark into deep waters without knowing where we are going.
We do so in the certain knowledge that people of faith from the days of Abraham
until now have done the same.

There will be storms and even gale force winds ahead of us, but we must break
free of a narrow parochialism. The five Parishes are all very different and each
one adds to the beautiful tapestry making up the local Church. We are blessed with three great assets, two Catholic Primary Schools and a Catholic Secondary School and Sixth Form College. All three schools provide the best education for the children in their care in a strong Catholic atmosphere.

Do please, use the links to contact the Parishes and the Schools.

Alone we are weak and often times fearful but together we have a powerful mission to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world around us. If you are visiting us you are most welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay with us. If you have come here to live permanently we hope that you will throw yourself into the worship and life of the local faith community. You will find all our places of worship well preserved and in good working
order, but we consider the living stones are at the heart of who we are as the Body of Christ and the People of God in this corner of Hampshire.

May you have many blessings this day and always.
