5 Pompey Chimes The Pompey Chimes is the 16-page newspaper of the Portsmouth Diocese, which is distributed to 8,000 readers across our parishes and church schools. It contains news, features, diary dates and information from around the Diocese. Every month St Faith s buys copies and they are left either at the back of the church or in the Bulson Hall foyer. If you have never read it why don t you help yourself to a copy, read it and then pass it on to somebody whom you think does not have access to a copy? It is an excellent way to keep in touch with what is happening around our diocese and often in the wider church. 5
