FSSP Warrington Priory Campaign

Help us
complete the
conversion work for 

  • 1) a versatile Shrine hall sitting 218 guests and
    pilgrims (Middle Floor); 
  • 2) classrooms, repository and admin space (Ground Floor);
  • 3) twelve bedrooms for pilgrims, visiting seminarians and priests (Top Floor).

Before lockdown we did raise £1M to buy and convert this property, next door to our beautiful church. But costs have soared since Covid. With us, invest in re-evangelising England.

This is how:

  • → We are a
    traditional Catholic hub in Great-Britain with 500 visits per week;
  • → In full
    communion with the Church;
  • → Described in the national press as a “Nazareth in Lancashire“;
  • → With several FSSP
    priests serving
    God and souls full time;
  • → Daily traditional
    Mass and confessions;

  • → Teaching
    the faith to children (home-schooling group, St Mary’s Academy) and adults (Men
    and Ladies’ groups,
    Juventutem youth group, converts classes);
  • → Daily homilies
    livestreamed;
  • → Sustained pro-life
    involvement (LifeSiteNews;
    SPUC, Good Counsel Network, March for Life UK);

[Please note, the video above was recorded before the Covid crisis but the pastoral aim of the Priory Campaign remains.]

  • → Quarterly magazine
    Dowry to spread the
    faith and other publications;
  • → St Mary’s Academy to help our children become saints; on the very spot where the nuns of the Venerable Elizabeth Prout (foundress of the female branch of the Passionists) taught children for decades;
  • → First
    priestly ordinations in the traditional form in England and yearly
    Confirmations by local Archbishop;
  • → Best
    stability: St Mary’s Shrine is so far in England the only place of its kind legally
    owned
    by a traditional order; and the FSSP has a special decree from the Pope
    to use the traditional liturgy for all the sacraments.

God bless you.
