WELCOME In 2005 the Parishes of All Saints, St. George’s , St. Mary’s, St Peter’s,and St Luke’s Portsea in the heart of the City of Portsmouth chose to work collaboratively. They were drawn together as a cluster as part of the first project plans for Kairos by the Portsmouth Diocese. In 2008 they were joined by the Anglican Cathedral of St Thomas’s. Working together brings not only new energy to the churches but also the recognition that working in partnership, sharing experiences and resources and introducing new styles and connections with the Anglican faith, and celebrating the good things can have a real and lasting positive effect on the communities that surround them. Networking like this also provides a consultative forum useful when implementing national and local strategies which affect Churches in general. At the same time the Churches retain their own special, historical and individual identities and activities which can be embraced by the wider communities the partnership serves.
Administration and pastoral support for All Saints, St George’s and St Mary’s in particular is carried out from the an office situated at All Saints Centre in Commercial Road, Portsmouth. Contact can be made by telephone on 023 92 293020 or by e-mail
