Our Parish

The Parish of St George & St Martin was founded in 1923 by Fr (later Canon) Martin Power, who served as parish priest until 1968, when he collapsed and died at the altar while saying Mass on the Feast of the Epiphany.

The Church was completed in 1928 and consecrated in 1935.

The Parish serves and area of terraced housing in its immediate vicinity, and also a large modern housing estate, built mostly in the 1990s.

The Catholic Population of the Parish is 1,100. Parishioners come from a variety of backgrounds, with a signifcant minority of Italian origin.

The present Parish Priest, Fr Michael Minors O.D.C., arrived in 1999.
