Spirit of the Living Lord

…fall afresh on us!

Welcome to our Parish Website

Welcome to the Parish of the Holy Spirit East Manchester, a part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford. A welcoming community which is diverse in terms of nationality, culture and even religious upbringing. We are nevertheless a part of one faith community in Jesus Christ The Parish came into existence in 2017 with the amalgation of the parishes of St Anne’s and St Brigid’s Roman Catholic Parish Ancoats and the St Willibrord’s Roman Catholic Parish Clayton. This came about as the Diocese of Salford took up a restructuring of the diocese to fit into the new reality of the diocese as she responds to the need of the faithful in this locality.

The name of the new parish, “Parish of the Holy Spirit” was chosen because of the involvement of the Spiritans (members of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit) who are serving this parish. The parish now covers the territory of the two amalgamated parishes giving it a very wide broad area of coverage, from Droylsden to Ancoats, and Beswick to Miles Platting. Our three churches have rich histories and a look at any of them confirms our statement.
