A dynamic, multicultural Roman Catholic Faith Community enriched by a rich diversity of ethnicities, cultures, and traditions. All are welcome.
The land on which our church stands was bought in 1909 by Bishop Cahill of Portsmouth. Within months, a church was blessed and the Portswood Mission was born — now a thriving multicultural parish family over a century in the making.
Today, our parish is enriched by parishioners from across the world, united by a shared Catholic faith and a commitment to serving one another and our wider Southampton community.
