Wed 17th Sept - 11.00 - 13.00
Thus 18th Sept - 11.00 - 13.00
Sat 20th Sept   - 10.00 - 12.00

The address is 1 Crescent Road, Seaforth, L21 4LJ

With the church being opened to the public I am not sure whether the Blessed Sacrament will be reserved or not. However, it is well worth popping over to say a prayer there for the conversion of Britain and to have one's mind, heart and soul lifted heavenward by the architecture which resonates with goodness, beauty and truth.

When we first got married we joined this parish for the 2 years before going to America; during which time I snapped this picture one Christmas Day! Fr. Tom Wood has done a lot of work to restore and maintain this beautiful church in its original integrity. It is another gem, whose original altar, altar rails and all round splendour would make it ideal for the celebration of the Classical Roman Rite now that Pope Benedict has encouraged its widepsread use after the 2007 Motu Proprio.
