Catholic Pastoral Services (CPS)

library.jpgCatholic Pastoral Services is based in the old school-house to the north side of St Thomas’ Church, St Helier.  The purpose of CPS is to provide outreach services to both the Catholic and wider communities in Jersey.  Within the centre are a meeting hall, a bookshop, a library, a quiet room and offices.

  • The library has over 1,500 books; all available for borrowing.
  • The bookshop has the latest catholic titles, CTS pamphlets, bibles, missals and children’s books.  Books can be ordered and delivered within a few days.
  • Meetings for the various sacramental programmes are held at CPS.
  • The island marriage preparation programmes and the RCIA and Journey of Faith programmes are delivered  there.
  • Youth and Adult Formation, Prayer Groups, and catechetical events are all significant areas of activity for CPS.
  • Preparation and organisation of the schools catechetics programme is part of the CPS remit.
  • Faith formation talks are held at the centre on a regular basis, presented by both clergy and laity. The talks cover a wide range of topics, and allow for people to attend on an occasional as well as a regular basis.
  • CPS run a Bereavement and Loss Support group.
  • A toddler and parents “Praise and Play group”, held in St Thomas’ Hall, is managed by CPS.
  • CPS  administer the island Stewardship programme. Our diocesan plan asks for more involvement of lay people in the life of the Church, and  Stewardship, which  is  aimed at making the best use of all our resources – our time, treasure, talents and one another - is how this involvement is developed and maximised for the good of the Church in Jersey.
