Parish Information
OUR PARISH
Our parish priest, Father Adrian Macnamara, works closely with school staff, families and parishioners, he visits school regularly and together we help prepare year 3 and year 4 pupils for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion, whilst pupils in Year 5 and 6 prepare for Confirmation.
Our parish church, Our Lady and Saint Benedict Catholic Church is located on Abbey Lane right next door to the school. It is part of the St Bernard of Clairvaux Parish. Children attend mass on a fortnightly basis and we are very much part of the parish family.
Fr Adrian MacNamara is the parish priest. He welcomes everyone to mass.

In 2026 the former parish of Our Lady and Saint Benedict, Abbey Hulton merged with the parish of St George and St Martin’s Birches head forming the St Bernard of Clairvaux Parish. However, for admission purposes the school will continue to use the former, or original, parish boundary of Our Lady and Saint Benedict and not the new larger parish boundary. This is to ensure that the children living in the parish that the school was originally built to serve will continue to receive the highest priority for admission.
