Welcome to our new parish website

A very warm welcome to all to the new website for the parish community of St. Patrick ‘s, Rochdale and St. Mary’s, Littleborough. We are two parishes who are preparing to come together as one community. This website has been put together by members of the two parishes and the Hope in the Future Leads and continues to be a work in progress.


Our website has come into being so that the enquirer can at a glance see what this community has to offer to help bring the love of God and his Son Jesus Christ into the lives of the people around us. This we hope to achieve by advertising our Church Services, pastoral initiatives by the different groups active in the community, what is happening in our three primary schools and also social events when they are allowed to resume. Everyone is free to help by contributing to this website and to the life of this community.


Our aim is to become an active community of committed Catholic Christians working in harmony to enrich the wider community and our own lives by living out the teachings of the Gospel.


Fr. Robert
