Church History

It was founded in 1936. The current church opened on 8 December 1954.

 

This was for many years a chapel-of-ease to SS. Peter and Paul's. Mass was said in the present school. When a separate parish was established in 1936, Fr. James Fallon was appointed.

Taken from "Salford Diocese and its Catholic past", a survey by Charles A. Bolton, a Priest of the above Diocese. Published 1950 on the First Centenary for the Diocese of Salford.
