Who we are

Parish Priest 

Fr Ian Farrell

Fr Ian wanted to be a priest from the age of five and every time he offers Mass he thanks God for granting him this gift.

Born in the Midlands, Fr Ian has lived in Salford Diocese since he was eleven apart from seven years spent in Rome, preparing for his ordination.

He really enjoys cooking, opera, gardening and trying to bring order to chaos. Growth in the knowledge and love of God is where he finds meaning and purpose.
