 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!
St John Rigby Centre Reopens
On Sunday 30th August, we celebrated an important moment in the life of our parish with the reopening of the St John Rigby Centre.
After many months of work, planning and improvements, it was wonderful to welcome parishioners back into the centre and mark the occasion together. Around forty people joined us for Afternoon Tea, enjoying plenty of sandwiches, homemade cakes and good conversation.
Fr Kenny opened the gathering with a prayer of thanksgiving, giving thanks for all those who have contributed to the work of bringing the centre back into use. During the afternoon, Leann was also presented with a gift in recognition of the considerable time and effort she has given to overseeing and coordinating the refurbishment project.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make the afternoon such a success, particularly those who arrived with surprise contributions of cakes and treats! The raffle and food parcels ensured that nobody went home empty-handed.
It was a lovely opportunity for parishioners to come together and celebrate not just a newly refurbished building, but a space that we hope will once again become a busy and valued part of parish and community life.
Please take a look at the photographs below from the afternoon.
Please see information about the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communions in 2026 on our
