The South Berkshire Pastoral
Area of Portsmouth Diocese
covers Wokingham, Bracknell,
Sandhurst, and Crowthorne,
and includes five worshipping communities, three
primary schools, and one religious community.
With the Great Park Pastoral Area it
forms a natural grouping for CAFOD
Portsmouth Diocese.
All churches and schools have long been strong
supporters of CAFOD.
And like the Diocese as a whole, each church has its own FairTrade
certification.
The information here is as accurate as possible in mid-2008. The
Diocesan Pastoral Plan envisages
about 25 or so parishes composed of a
number of church communities.
One option would be to have
one single parish based on the South Berkshire Pastoral Area.
So this page and others
are opportunities for
everyone to see
and understand
something of the activities, ways and personality of the others.
This JustOne page lists all the churches, with key information such as
location, parish phone number, Mass times and websites.
It also catalogues the three primary schools. And because the Area does not have
any
Catholic secondary or senior schools, the page shows some options available
in nearby towns:
Reading, Slough, Farnham,
Chertsey, Ascot, Windsor and Farnborough.
NB Have a look
at the parish websites. They're rich sources of information, and usually carry
on-line weekly
newsletters, PPC minutes,
rotas, finances, events, and so on.
