Parish

The Church of Our Lady and St Patrick is a Roman Catholic Parish in the centre of Oldham, made up of what was originally 3 separate parishes: St Mary’s, Our Lady of Mount Carmel with St Patrick and Holy Rosary.

As part of the restructuring of the Diocese, these became one Parish in 2018, with the closure of St Mary’s and Holy Rosary Churches.

Since the amalgamation of parishes, our school is now in the parish of ‘Our Lady and St Patrick, Oldham.
