band 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.

St R
 

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.
