Archbishop Bernard Longley was the main celebrant at a Holy Mass on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the “new” St Patrick’s Primary School, Wolverhampton, writes Jozef Lopuszynski.
In September 1964, the borough council announced the building of a new ring-road, requiring St Patrick’s church and school to be demolished. With great foresight, Canon Anthony Allport, parish priest, decided that the then derelict St Thomas’s Church of England Secondary Modern School in Graiseley – within the parish boundaries – should be purchased.
