The future of St Edward's RC Church in Rusholme, Manchester, is at risk. We need your help to save it.

​

Why should the future of St Edward's Church be secured?​

​

St Edward's Church is essential to the lives of its parishioners as well as the wider, multicultural community in Rusholme and beyond. At present, St Edward's Church is home to a thriving, vibrant and diverse congregation. The parishioners travel from all over Greater Manchester to attend. It is vital that St Edward's Church continues as a fully functioning Catholic Church which can provide the complete pastoral and sacramental care of its parishioners.​

​

Rusholme is an area of high social deprivation and it is paramount that the Catholic Church retains its important presence in the community.​ St Edward's Church must carry on developing its relationships with other Christian communities and those of other religions.​

​​

St Edward's Church was established in 1861, and is of significant historical, religious, cultural and social value. It has been a central part of the community for over 150 years, and we hope and pray that it will continue to serve in this key role.​
