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.
 
Welcome
In this family of faith:
 
Each person is valued
 
– Each person is welcomed
 
– Each person is loved

A warm welcome awaits you!
