The Parish Community Petersfield Parish is an active community thanks to a large number of parishioners who organise and carry out a wide variety of activities. We always welcome new helpers and these pages are designed both to explain what the various bodies do and what skills or experience they would welcome from new volunteers. About the Parish contains a brief history of the parish and a description of the Parish community, of which more details can be found in the Parish section of the website. News contains descriptions of recent and future events in the parish, notices for parishioners and a Bulletin Board for parishioners wishing to communicate with other members of the community. | |
