our Patsoral Area have FairTrade registration
This CAFOD area covers the two Portsmouth Diocese pastoral areas of South Berkshire and Great Forest - in the northeastern corner of the diocese. We've also included information on the area around Reading - and secondary schools in Slough, Chertsey, Farnborough and Farnham which some students in East Berkshire attend.
All of the churches and schools below are within Portsmouth RC Diocese - and its website has detailed information on all parishes and schools. In each case here, you have the name and address, telephone contact for parish information, and website link where available.
Being in the northeast corner of the diocese means that our area adjoins the dioceses of Arundel & Brighton, Westminster, Birmingham and Northampton.
CAFOD is the highly-regarded official aid and development agency of the Catholic Church in England & Wales. It works in about 50 countries to provide emergency relief, long-term development, education and advocacy. It's one of the 160-plus agencies in Caritas International. JustOne is an unofficial Bracknell offshoot, sharing experience for wider benefit.
Each diocese in England & Wales has a CAFOD office. CAFOD Portsmouth is based at St Mary's Church, Belle Vue Road, Aldershot, Hampshire, GU12 4RX Tel: 01252 329 385 912 E-mail:portsmouth@cafod.org.uk
