Welcome to the St Oswald and St Edmund Arrowsmith Parish Website

 *****Church Remains open during Current Restrictions*****

Our church is  open for public mass celebration at the usual times (see latest newsletter for up to date details), and private prayer and devotion to The Blessed Sacrament each Weekday, Monday-Friday from 10am to Midday, and Saturdays following 9.30am mass until 12.00 (with the exception of the first Saturday in each month)

. Visitors are asked to comply with Covid distancing guidelines whilst in Church, and to use to hand sanitisers provided both on entering and leaving church.

It is hoped we can recommence with Baptisms later in May, and a more normal return to all church services from 21st June, in line with Government guidance.

For well over 100 years now, St Oswald’s has also been a place of pilgrimage for the relic of St Edmund Arrowsmith’s Holy Hand-Saint and Martyr. The Holy Hand is present on the Altar each day, and is used in the Blessing at the end of mass.

We hope you are able to join us  for private prayer and for public mass.

Father John Gorman
