Find out the answers to these questions and any others you may have about working in a Catholic school by attending our online webinar, ‘Come to work in our Catholic schools’ being held on Tuesday 13th January 2026 at 7pm. The webinar will be led by Catherine Hobbs, Diocesan Director for Education and Robert Dare, Diocesan Schools Support Officer, and will last approximately one hour.  Register your interest in attending by clicking on the button below:

Christian Unity in Eastleigh - Bible Reading Week

As part of the week of prayer for Christian Unity, Churches Together in Eastleigh are joining together to read the bible.  From Monday 19th to Friday 23rd we will be reading through the entire Bible from 8am - 9pm each day. On Saturday 24th January we will be gathering in Eastleigh Town Centre to read the Gospels.  This is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate the unity we all have in knowing Jesus as Lord and Saviour as revealed through the holy scriptures.  We would love people from every church to take part.  Please visit our website to sign up.  You can sign up for as many slots as you like. Each slot is one hour and up to 4 people at a time can book in so no one has to read for the full hour.

“To help put Christ at the centre,
I have asked everyone in the diocese
to keep six holy habits:
​​1) to spend five minutes a day in prayer
2) to attend Mass every Sunday
3) to go to Confession once a month or so
4) to keep Fridays as a day of penance and charity
5) to visit and pray before the Blessed Sacrament once a fortnight
6) to join a small group for fellowship, formation and support.
