St Mary's Parish, Portsea

St Mary’s is a cultural, community and spiritual hub in the heart of Fratton – don’t miss out on the many events and special services that happen here: join our events email list.

Our parish is made up of the mother church of St Mary's and its sister mission church of St Faith's. We are dedicated to serving Fratton and its people. The people of our parish seek to be a reflection of the Trinity: seen and expressed in particular ways and in particular places. All are equal and all are valued, all have a contribution to make, and all seek to recognise the gifts of others.
