It is our great joy to announce that on 8 September 2018, the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bishop Philip Egan, the Bishop of Portsmouth, established us as a Personal Parish, under the patronage of St John Fisher.
Our parish community will continue to be located at St William of York Church, Reading, until such time as a permanent home can be found.

The 2018 Summer Camp for boys, under the patronage of St Peter, got underway on Monday. We are at a new location this year, in Bollington on the edge of the Peak District. The theme for the camp is the True Devotion to Mary of St Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort.
You can see photos of the camp at the Flickr page.
Please pray for the success of this camp and for all the participants.
