Through offering our support, we enable our people and our communities to grow, to become missionary and to thrive. We are working towards all of our churches becoming outward-looking churches.

Advent & Christmas

As we prepare our hearts during Advent and rejoice at Christmas, we invite you to join our parish in prayer and celebration. Find Mass times, services and events for the season.

Welcome from Father Mark

Welcome to the Catholic parish of St Peter and the Winchester Martyrs.

We have been worshipping here for centuries and we love our tradition, but we are also inspired by the future and by what God is calling us to be. We believe that God reveals beauty in the mess of our world. We are not a community of perfect people and we have not got our lives fully sorted. We have struggles and hurts, yet we know that Jesus can heal our souls and bodies and restore our broken lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Coming closer to Jesus transforms us and gives meaning to our lives. Jesus fills us with hope and joy as we slowly and surely learn to trust and grow in his unconditional love for us and for all people, including you. There is a space for you here if you would like to come and get to know us and Jesus a little better, a home away from home.

Come and see.
