Our Church |
| When a permanent church in the area was planned, it was decided that it should be dedicated to St Margaret Mary, as she was the saint who received the vision of the Sacred Heart, thus showing the link with Fareham. The new church was designed by Mr Robert Shaw, the architect husband of one of the parishioners, and it was blessed and opened by Bishop Derek Worlock, who was the Bishop of Portsmouth on the 8th January 1966. |

The church building presently |
| After 5 years of planning, Bishop Crispian dedicated our new church development on 3rd December 2004. The new development has provided the parish and community with much needed extra facilities including a new sacristy, Lady Chapel, Disabled toilet, Paray Room (our new community room) and a purpose built Repository. |
