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.
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.
We proclaim the Gospel in word and action and we seek to grow in our knowledge of God through learning together.
We love and praise God above all when we gather together in worship.
We seek to serve God by our service to one another both within our community, where we help to build strong bonds, and in service to those in need.
