The Parish of Bishopstoke is in the Deanery of Eastleigh in the Diocese of Winchester. Within our Deanery we are also in a ‘cluster’ partnership with St Thomas’, Fair Oak, and amongst other things tend to share our Confirmation service with them each year. The Bishop of Winchester is the Rt Revd Tim Dakin, who was inaugurated and enthroned in Winchester Cathedral on 21 April. If you would like to hear or read his sermon on that occasion, in which he shared his vision for our Diocese, please click here. Our Suffragan Bishop (for the southern part of the Diocese) is the Rt Revd Jonathan Frost, Bishop of Southampton, who will be visiting our parish in July for the 50th Anniversary of St Paul's.
