Our mission

"Love one another, just as I have loved you" (John 13:34)

We share in the mission of the Catholic Church, as part of the Diocese of Salford, and we exist to proclaim and teach the Word of God, celebrate the Sacraments, build a faith filled community and serve those in need.

Our guiding principles

We keep our eyes fixed on Jesus

The parish is the presence of the Church in a given territory, an environment for hearing God’s word, for growth in the Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration.” (Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 28). In short, we try to know, love and serve God.
