Welcome

One of the consequences of the interesting history of Catholicism on the Isle of Wight is the variety in style of our churches, which include, in Newport, the oldest purpose-built, post- Reformation, Catholic parish church in England or Wales.

There are churches in Newport, Ryde, Sandown, Shanklin, East Cowes, Cowes, Bembridge, Ventnor and Totland Bay.

There two abbeys, several convents and a lay community.

There are primary schools in Newport, Ryde, East Cowes, Ventnor and Totland. Christ the King College, a joint Anglican and Catholic school in Carisbrooke, offers secondary education for the whole Island.
