IRT update from Uganda
IRT’s CEO and friend of our parish, Adrian Hatch, just returned from a two-week trip to Uganda where he visited IRT projects and talked to people to see how else we can help in the region.
When you come through the doors our church, we aim to provide a warm welcome, whether you are a regular member, visiting us or just interested in learning more. There’s so much going on in St Boniface, whatever your age or interest. From our long-standing Parent and Toddler Group, social committee, to the active UCM, we boast a wealth of social and faith-based activities.

This is our 10th annual Christmas Shoebox appeal, together with Springhill School. This nationwide project is organised locally by the Rotary Club of Southampton and 3,500 boxes have been sent from this parish since 2000.
In a very weak moment, UCM members Geraldine Potter and Anne Monaghan agreed to pound the streets of London on 12th July as ‘Team Southampton’ to raise funds in support of the Apostleship of the Sea, and raised £1330!
The New Testament shows us that both Jesus and the early Christian community prayed for the sick and laid hands on them.
Many thanks to Adrian Hatch for coming from East Grinstead on 17th and 18th January to tell us about our IRT project in Uganda.
