NEW PARISH PRIEST ANNOUNCED Fr Kenny Hyde
Welcome!
Our Lady and St Swithins parish is aiming to be a community of welcome. We are striving to ensure that everyone has a real sense of belonging. We aim to ensure that there is support for a wide cross section of family life from cradle to grave.
The Mini Martyrs provides a parent and toddler group; our childrens liturgy at the Sunday mass and our excellent parish based preparation for sacraments ensure that children feel a valued part of our parish community.
Many of our parish groups cater for the needs of the older parishioners. There are social events and outings that involve a wide age range. Our housebound and sick parishioners are cared for wonderfully by our Eucharistic Ministers and visitors. Our Church services offer a variety of styles of worship and liturgy something we hope to nourish everyone.
If you are married, single, divorced, separated, remarried, widowed or just searching you have a right to be part of our community. All are welcome and we hope there is something here for everyone.
In August 2004 St Swithins Church was closed by the Archdiocese. At the final mass the Bishop announced that the parish of Queen of Martyrs and the parish of St Swithin would become one parish with the name of Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs and St Swithin; known as Our Lady and St Swithin for short. This has brought together as one a parish founded in the 15th century and one founded in the 20th century. We are part of the Croxteth, Fazakerley and Walton Pastoral Area, which includes 3 other parishes, St Teresa, Holy Name and Blessed Sacrament.

The Archbishop has give us a task of looking outwards as a Pastoral Area and asking what God is saying to us through the institutions of Altcourse Prison and Aintree Hospitals.
