Social Projects – Supporting the Ellesmere Port Community

Our parish is dedicated to supporting the community through various social projects. We provide a weekly hot meal café and a weekend food bank to assist those in need. Through Refugee Assist, we offer friendship and support to displaced individuals. Additionally, we are working to resume The Bread and Butter Thing, which provides affordable food options. These initiatives reflect our commitment to serving others and living out our faith through action.

Parish Mission

As a Catholic parish, we are dedicated to living out the mission of the Church by fostering a strong, faith-filled community centered on love, service, and support for all. Through our social events, we bring people together to build friendships, strengthen our parish family, and support the essential needs of our church, ensuring it remains a place of worship, guidance, and outreach. Our social projects reflect Christ’s call to serve those in need. We provide food, friendship, and assistance through initiatives like our weekly hot meal café, weekend food bank, and Refugee Assist program. We are committed to supporting families, ensuring they feel welcome and cared for in our parish, and providing opportunities for them to grow in faith together. By coming together in fellowship and service, we strive to be a beacon of hope, compassion, and faith, upholding the mission of the Catholic Church and creating a parish where everyone is valued and supported.
