Who we are
Fr Ian wanted to be a priest from the age of five and every time he offers Mass he thanks God for granting him this gift.
Born in the Midlands, Fr Ian has lived in Salford Diocese since he was eleven apart from seven years spent in Rome, preparing for his ordination.
He really enjoys cooking, opera, gardening and trying to bring order to chaos. Growth in the knowledge and love of God is where he finds meaning and purpose.
Maura and Prishma work tirelessly managing the parish office and keep it running. They would be pleased to help you with any of your requests. Feel free to get in touch!
