As parish priest of Holy Cross and St Francis, Walmley, part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham, I am delighted to welcome you to our parish website.

The latest news and information on parish and community events (and much more is available here). We hope you will find our site both interesting and informative.

When browsing through these pages, I would ask you to pay particular attention to the times of Mass and other services at the weekend.

This is simply because whilst all our community activities are important, our faith in the risen Christ is absolutely vital to our lives – as individuals and as a community – and Sunday is the traditional day when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Christ, the centre-point of our faith.

Whatever your reason for visiting us we pray that God will bless your search and grant you many blessings.

Fr. Neil Bayliss
Parish Priest
