We are a community of faith. We are Catholic. We live in, work in and serve the local communities across Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands.
The Bishop is the “Chief Shepherd” of the Diocese: he is appointed to govern, teach and guide the priests and people of the diocese.
Our mission is to live out our Catholic faith and through witness and example bring people closer to Jesus Christ through His Church.
The parish lies at the heart of every community. Families, churches, schools, chaplaincies to hospitals and prisons. Parishes provide an inclusive hub for people of all walks of life to journey together in faith and to reach out to the wider community to serve in social action.
Young people are visible in the Church. They are involved in parish life, school and university communities and the wider community, witnessing to their relationship with Jesus Christ. The Diocese supports young people to respond to the invitation of faith in various ways.
The fast pace of today's world often has us rushing through our daily life, with little direction or thought as to the kind of life we should be leading. Fortunately, the Catholic faith provides us with a solid moral compass and many great role models to help us find our way.
Got Questions? We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and discover their purpose in life.
Whether you want to offer your time and talents or support our vital work financially, it's all part of Christian Stewardship and you can really make a difference.
Good communication is really important to us. Whether it's sharing the impact of our community projects and sharing the witness of inspiring individuals, or reaching out to collaborate and dialogue with groups and individuals, and providing resources to enable others, we want to build long lasting effective relationships and help people to develop their faith journey.
The Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth with the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales (CBCEW) Department for Evangelisation invites you to the online webinar led by best-selling author, lecturer and evangelist Sherry Weddell, entitled ‘Accompanying the Non-Religious Person in Day-to-Day Life.”
Sherry Weddell from the Catherine of Siena Institute will host the event, which will give the perfect opportunity to people who work within the fields of evangelisation. Sherry will explore how Catholics can fulfil their mission to bring all to Christ, whilst equipping parishes and dioceses to become centres of evangelisation and formation as well as encouraging ongoing apostolic support for the laity.
Sherry’s book Forming Intentional Disciples has sold over 150,000 copies. She has since released two further books: Becoming a Parish of Intentional Disciples and Fruitful Discipleship: Living the Mission of Jesus in the Church and in the World.
