Welcome
The two churches of St Patrick's, Woolston and Annunciation, Netley serve the east side of
Southampton and welcome worshippers of all ages and backgrounds. We lead our congregation in worship, deepening the connection to God, understanding the teachings of Christ, and ultimately to a vibrant faith.
We have a long, proud history of serving the people of Southampton. Through the dedication of our leadership, staff members and volunteers, we are committed to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and are here to spread His message. Contact us today to find out more about becoming part of the our Catholic Church community.

RECORDED MASSES
Some of our Masses are now being recorded and are available to watch by clicking below.
We still have to follow the social distancing rules which are a legal requirement and I once again ask you to follow what our lovely volunteer stewards are asking you to do in church and that there are to be no holy huddles in entrances/exits or in car parks. Remember: HANDS FACE SPACE

Supporting our local Covid Vaccination Programme
The 8 front side car parking spaces of St Patrick’s Church (Portsmouth Road entrance car park) are not to be used by parishioners on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from now on as I have given these 8 spaces over for the sole use of the medical staff administering the COVID Vaccinations from 8am – 6pm in the nearby St Peter’s Doctors Surgery Car Park (which means the medical staff have nowhere to park).
This is our way of helping the local community with the vaccination program and ensuring the medical staff can park easily and not be delayed in their vital work for want of parking. If you need disabled parking, please park in front of my car whilst Mass is taking place (room for two cars) on a Wednesday morning.
Everyone else to park in the Church Hall Car park at the rear of the Church (Porchester Road entrance) if coming to Mass on a Wednesday morning, which is the only flash point for parking out of those days the medical staff need parking.
Please Help Us!
Our two churches like other charitable institutions are losing vital income at this time through the loss of revenue from our weekly collections, hall bookings and fundraising activities now that the churches are closed. You can help by making a donation.
