and Welcome to the
Thames Isis Roman Catholic Pastoral Area
Third Sunday of Ordinary Time (Yr B)
Welcome to the Thames Isis
Pastoral Area, a community of five Catholic parishes
with over 2000 members who are committed to celebrating their
faith and working together as part of the Pastoral
Plan of the Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth, in
communion with our Bishop Crispian Hollis.
Our central purpose is to give glory to God, and
to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which we
believe to be good news for all people. We do this
both by our worship and by our lives. As a Pastoral
Area we recognise the need to nurture local
worshipping communities, and through these to
support individuals and families in their faith. We
are also keen to welcome fellow Catholics, wherever
you may come from, and those who are wishing to
explore the Catholic Faith.
Visit the individual websites for each parish to
find the location of your nearest one and more
information about the local worshipping communities
within them. You will also find links to detailed
information about individual churches, contact
details and ways of getting involved.
A Leadership Team of clergy and lay people from
all our parishes meets regularly to promote ways in
which we can share resources, deepen our
understanding of our faith, support each other and
find ways of sharing the Christian Gospel with
others and serving our local communities. This team
is convened by the Co-ordinating Pastor, Father Paul
King.
