The fact is we need to achieve £51million in savings and growth between now and 2020.

  • Our Lady of the Sacred Heart a Parish History 1849
    Our Lady of the Sacred Heart A Parish History 1849 - 2004 The Church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, Weston-in-Arden, Bulkington, Warwickshire Our Lady of the Sacred Heart - A Parish History - 1 Our Lady of the Sacred Heart - A Parish History - 2 A recent view of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church looking towards Mill Lane Our Lady of the Sacred Heart - A Parish History - 3 This history is dedicated to past, present and future generations of Weston parishioners INTRODUCTION It gives me great pleasure to introduce this updated Parish History dedicated to past, present, and future generations of Weston Parishioners. A parish community is a very special place where people come together to live out their faith initiated at Baptism, to receive the Sacraments, to have a deeper awareness of what their faith means in their lives and live out the Gospel message of Christ. As a parish family, together with the priest we share in the joys and sorrows of life and hopefully support each other when difficulties arise. This parish from its humble beginnings has built up a rich tapestry of faith which has influenced the wider village community in many ways. The following pages give us glimpse of parish life in days gone by and the people past and present who have made such a valuable contribution to its mission. I would like to pay tribute to all the fine priests that have served this parish and have gone before us. Their hard work and dedication has been outstanding. May the Lord reward these good and faithful servants.

  • History of St Marys
    The Dawn of Catholicism in North Staffordshire A Cistercian abbey of St Mary by the Trent at Hulton was founded by Henry de Audley in 1223 & soon after they established a grange (farm) at Rushton on the hillside below Cobridge. In 1538 during the Reformation Hulton Abbey was dissolved with its properties taken by the Crown & subsequently sold, but it’s grange at Rushton was the key to the survival & eventual revival of Catholicism in Stoke. Over the next few centuries the grange passed through many hands including the Biddulph & Bagnall families who were both Catholics. In 1688 the grange was ransacked by a Protestant mob as it had become well known as a Catholic centre By the early 18th century Rushton Grange, Cobridge had become a Mass centre but only became a parish in 1760 when Fr Thomas Flynn came to the district as a resident priest, he probably lived in Burslem although said Mass in the Chapel at Rushton Grange that was part of an old Cistercian farm. In 1781 a new chapel was opened on the hill above the Grange, this was St Peter’s Church, Cobridge. Hard as it is for us to comprehend it was not until 1791 that saying Mass became legal & Catholic worship was once more recognised by the laws of England. Then it was not until 1829 following an Act Of Parliament that Catholics received back their civil rights & with it their right to vote. After a period of persecution of almost 300 years was an amazing journey through which all the Parishes in the North of Stoke can trace their roots, roots that go all the way back to St Mary by the Trent way back in 1223.
