In his encyclical on “Christ’s Faithful People” Pope John Paul II said,
“The Parish is not principally a structure, a territory or a building, but rather, the family of God, a fellowship afire with a unifying spirit, a familiar and welcoming home, and a community of the faithful.”
The parish of St Joseph & St. Margaret Clitherow in Bracknell is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth and belongs to the South Berkshire Pastoral Area.
The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of lay parishioners appointed by the Parish Priest to share responsibility in strategically driving forward parish renewal following the ‘maintenance to mission’ principles of Divine Renovation (Fr. James Mallon) and to work together with the parish community across areas of parish and community life, empowering parish groups to thrive in their ministry.

And remember I am with you always to the end of time”.
