St Catherine's is an established and thriving Catholic parish on School Lane in Didsbury, part of the Diocese of Salford www.salforddiocese.net.
The Church shares a space with a primary school (St Catherine's) and a Community Centre. Together they sustain a diverse community which includes people of all ages and backgrounds. The St Catherine's community prides itself in its inclusivity and welcome to new people. Our priest is Father John Hitchen, assisted by Father Michael Deas and the parish sits within the diocese of Salford. It also proudly supports The Barlow RC High School. Visitors are welcome at all our services and Parish Groups are always seeking new members and volunteers. Please come along and join us.

COMMUNITY SPONSORSHIP GROUP: Please see the section containing updates here. Happily we can announce that our refugee family have arrived safely. It has been a great team effort preparing for their arrival and the whole process since June 2017 to this point, is a cause for celebration. Without your ongoing support, be it items donated for the house, or help with decorating, or financial donations, it would not have happened.
Huge thanks for your generosity and support. We pray for the family that they may have a successful resettlement over the next two years. Parish Coffee morning: 1st Friday of the month, 11am to 1.30pm, Community Centre. All proceeds to Parish funds. Everyone is welcome.
Parish 90th Anniversary: Thank you to those who contributed to the success of the celebrations. A copy of the Parish Booklet and the Parish History which was written to celebrate the 60th Anniversary in 1989 can be found here.
