Lottery funding has helped revive a famous Merseyside church
Seven years ago, Ss Peter, Paul and St Philomena’s Church was closed, leaking and full of rubbish. Today, it is looked after by a traditional order of priests – young and enthusiastic, with three in residence - two-thirds of the roof has been restored, and the community is only getting younger.
Bishop Mark Davies’s vision was for a Shrine Church for the whole diocese, based on the traditional Mass and daily Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. He entrusted this vision to the Institute of Christ the King.
