Our SVP group has joined with that of Our Lady Immaculate in Westbourne to become one Conference.

The work of our Conference is concentrated on local visiting.

We meet in their church hall twice a month on a Wednesday morning to discuss our visits and to allocate future work, in a spirit of prayer and mutual support.

We also provide an afternoon tea and entertainment once a month for those who find it difficult to get out and about. Transport is provided for them.

Some members are part of a Chaplaincy Team attached to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. They visit and take Holy Communion to patients.

If you know of somebody who would like to see them, please contact Fr Bruce and Sharon, our Secretary, who can then contact Pauline Hughes to arrange this.

Internationally, groups in the developing world are “Twinned” with groups in more affluent countries, supporting each other with correspondence and mutual prayer.

We are twinned with Sudan and India.

Financial support is also provided in the form of regular contributions, student sponsorship, specific projects and a “disaster fund” to help the local Society cope with disasters in their own country.

Is this something you would like to do? Come and join us. It is very rewarding. Use the enquiry form on the right or leave your name and phone number with the Parish Office on 01202 411140 and somebody will contact you.
