Welcome to the home page of the Parish of St Mary and St Catherine Labouré in the

Lancashire Deanery of the Archdiocese of Liverpool

Parish Priest: Fr Simon Henry

St Mary's, Wigan Road, Euxton, PR7 6JW 01257 262665

St Catherine’s, Stanifield Lane, Farington. PR25 4QG. 01772 421174.

The parish of St Mary and St Catherine Labouré in Lancashire was formed in 2024, in essence amalgamating the two previously separate Parishes. The new Parish continued to operate with two churches until September 2025 when St Catherine's church was closed - consequently the Parish church is now St Mary's in Euxton, serving all Parishioners. At the moment our Parish Priest (Fr Simon Henry) remains resident at St Catherine's Presbytery whilst essential renovations are carried out at the St Mary's Presbytery.

Contacting Fr Simon

As you are probably aware, Fr Simon will not be resident at Euxton until essential renovations of the Presbytery are completed, and therefore at the moment will only be at Euxton to celebrate Mass (and other Services) and for arranged meetings.

We don't have an office staff, so it isn't advisable to rely on messages left on the answerphone..... consequently the best method of contact is via the parish email stmary.euxton@rcaol.org.uk

Obviously you can see Fr Simon after Mass if you wish to do so.

Given the recent major changes quite a few of the parish contact points mentioned on the website are now out of date, If you need to contact the parish and are unsure of who you need, please send an email to the Parish email address.
