A very warm welcome

Welcome to The Catholic Church of Fareham and Portchester. Our church is proud to work together within our diverse communities to share the message of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as well as the many blessings we have received.


As a place of worship, community, and love, we warmly welcome everyone to join us in celebrating and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our doors are always open, especially to those who seek comfort, guidance, and support.


We invite all parishioners and visitors to participate within the life of the parish and get involved in the many activities we undertake to support a healthy and vibrant community. Whether you are seeking spiritual nourishment, fellowship, or opportunities to serve others, we offer a wide range of ministries and programmes suitable for all ages and interests. From volunteering for ministries and visiting the sick and elderly, to participating in youth groups and Bible study sessions, there is something for everyone at our church.
