Our Online Directory

We have replaced the Parish Info system with the national database called the Contact Management System.

This investment in new technology will make it easier to keep our online database up-to-date and for you to search for key contacts. 

Fully compliant with data protection legislation, the new system gives much more flexibility and adaptability,  

It's been jointly developed by dioceses acoss the Church of England, and already over half are signed up to the system plus more are joining. We see this as an ideal solution to our Diocese needs. We are also pooling knowledge and resources to make a better system for all.

Our staff at St James House have been fully trained on how to use the system and you'll no longer be able to use old Parish Info system.
