Say a Prayer Today
Lord you know me
Lord, you see me.
Lord, you call me
to be with you.
When I am lost
and cannot find my way,
Lord, please come and find me.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Catholic Community of Skelmersdale is served by three churches and six schools. As one parish we strive to build a living community of family and friends. Together we try to love one another and put into practice the way Jesus taught us to live. We believe that belonging to the Church enriches lives on so many different levels and in so many different ways.
In this family of faith:
– Each person is valued
– Each person is welcomed
– Each person is loved
A warm welcome awaits you!

Housing Complex by St Mary’s:
St Mary’s will remain open in September and through to the end of October with Masses as usual. Watch for more news.
