History

Foundation

The Jesuits from

James Brown, Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury. It opened on 8 December.[2] The church contained a window designed by John Hungerford Pollen, father of a Jesuit, also called John Hungerford Pollen.[3]

Rebuilding

At some point in the 20th century, the Jesuits handed over the administration of the church to the

Diocese of Wrexham who continue to serve the parish.[4]

In 1955, the old school that was housed in the original parish chapel had to be moved, as the building was in a state of disrepair. A new school, Ysgol Mair, was built and the old school became the church hall. In 1973, the church was considered to be structurally unsafe. A new church had to be built. The old church hall was demolished and it became the site of the new church.[5] Building work started that year and was completed on 21 December.[2] The cost of construction was £230,000.[1]

Parish

The church has one Sunday Mass at 10:00am. There are weekday Masses at 9:30am from Tuesday to Friday.[4]
