PAMIS, CHURCHSUITE
and PARISH CENSUS
We’re moving our parishioner database from PAMIS to ChurchSuite. ChurchSuite is a market leader and has good data protection measures. Please make sure that you register yourself and your children, using the online form that you can find below. Please note there is one form for adults and a separate one for children.
This will help us to have a clear picture of our parish. Thank you to those who have already completed this.
For queries, please contact accounts@stswithunwellsparish.org.uk
YOUTH GROUPS
(including First Holy Communion and Confirmation)
Our Youth Groups for children in Primary school and young people in Secondary school will restart at the end of September 2026. They are also the path we propose to those who want to be prepared to receive First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
Registrations for the year 2026/2027 are now open. Please click on the links below.
We would like to remind you that if a child or a teenager wants to be prepared to receive First Holy Communion (and is at least in school year 3) or Confirmation (and is at least in school year 9) we will ask them to come regularly to one of the three groups, according to their age. They will receive First Holy Communion or Confirmation when they are ready (usually after one year).
There will be a meeting on Saturday 19th September 2026 at 11am in St Edward's cloister for all the parents and guardians where wwe will present the 2026/2027 Stars of Abraham programme.
Another meeting to present the Stars of Abraham programme in the Romsey and North Baddesley area will be held at St Andrew's Church, North Baddesley on Friday 25th September at 6pm.

STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
A massive thank you to everyone who has supported our Campaign in recent weeks. Your financial support will make a real and lasting difference to our parish and we are very grateful.
The Campaign will end this coming weekend, 25th and 26th July. However, the boxes for your forms will continue to be available until the end of August as we know some parishioners' personal circumstances mean they haven't yet been able to return their forms.
We don't yet have a final figure of how much we have raised but in September we will be able to announce it. There is a small group of parishioners we haven't been able to contact by phone. If you are one of these and have any queries about the parish finances or would like assistance with options for giving and gift aid, please contact Patricia, a member of our Parish Finance Committee, who will help you. Her number is 07932 970376.
Please see the direct debit form below to complete and to put into the boxes in the church welcoming area. Or you can fill out or online form to make a monthly donation. Please click on the button below.
