Our Parish’s official name is “Tilehurst : St Catherine’s and Calcot : St Birinus” It covers much of the western edge of Reading. It straddles the border of West Berkshire and Reading local authorities.
The parish church is called St Catherine of Siena and is found in the heart of our parish. It is in the middle of a 1960’s housing estate in Wittenham Avenue, opposite Birch Copse primary school.
The parish is mainly suburban housing with a little light industrial and commercial buildings scattered around.
However, the church is not a building, and is not restricted to a patch of land. A church is a worshipping group of people. Why not join us ?
