Have you thought about becoming a Catholic?
Are you curious about Catholicism and/or the possibility of becoming a Catholic and what that would entail? Are you married to a Catholic but no one has ever suggested you might consider becoming a Catholic yourself? Perhaps you were baptised Catholic as an infant but never made your First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation?
An information meeting for Enquirers (minimum 18 years of age) will be held on Thursday 6th November at 7pm in the Keenan Rooms at Corpus Christi. If you intend on coming to the meeting it would be helpful if you could register your interest in advance by emailing the parish office: wokingham@portsmouthdiocese.org.uk
The Cowshed Tree of Hope
We are very proud to be taking part in The Cowshed’s Tree of Hope Project. This wonderful initiative supports over 2,500 local children living in very vulnerable circumstances - including those in temporary accommodation, domestic abuse refuges, or experiencing financial hardship - by providing each child with a carefully chosen sack of brand new Christmas gifts, tailored to their individual interests.
It’s so easy to take part and make a real difference!
This is a joint project with St Teresa’s Catholic Academy, and our Tree of Hope will be beautifully displayed in the school’s front office during the week, decorated with special tags. The tree will be moved to the Church on Fridays, so that parishioners attending weekend Masses can take part in this wonderful scheme. It will then be back in the school on Monday, ready for the new week.
We warmly invite you to choose a tag from the tree, purchase the gift described on the tag, and place it unwrapped under the tree. Every single gift will help to bring a little extra joy and hope to a child this Christmas.
Please note that the project will end on Friday 14 November, to allow us time to deliver all the gifts to The Cowshed so their elves can begin wrapping them ready for Christmas.
We understand that times are difficult for many, but together we can help make Christmas a truly happy time for so many families.

Peace Be With You
We hope you find us an open and welcoming community.
Over the years, the shape and make-up of the community has extended to include a wonderful diversity of backgrounds, cultures, nationalities and age; which means that our congregation in one sense demonstrates the universal love of Corpus Christi.
Our central purpose to give glory to God, and to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which we believe to be good news for all people. We do this both by our worship and by our lives.
As a Pastoral Area we recognise the need to nurture local worshipping communities, and through these to support individuals and families in their faith. We are also keen to welcome fellow Catholics, wherever you may come from, and those who are wishing to explore the Catholic faith.
