Founded in 2015, St Wilfrid’s is a lively and dynamic parish, serving the Catholic community in and around the town of Widnes in the Archdiocese of Liverpool.
Our parish, which has four churches, incorporates eight former parishes, and the full story of our history (going back to the 12th Century) can be found here..
St Wilfrid's is served by a team of four priests with diverse skills, talents, and life experiences who work together very closely. They also work closely with different groups of lay people so that together the parish can be a vibrant sign of Christ’s presence in the world.
