Welcome to



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 at each Mass and is used in the blessing at the end of Mass: we welcome visitors and also pilgrimage groups by appointment.

The saints were human beings, not perfect beings. They had their struggles, weaknesses, and imperfections, yet they continued striving to live according to God's will.

Today, as we celebrate All Saints’ Day, may we be reminded that holiness is a journey of faith, not a claim to perfection.

May God grant us the courage to keep going, the grace to overcome our weaknesses, and His mercy as we strive to become more like Christ Jesus.
