Friday 20 September marked the sixtieth anniversary of the blessing and opening of All Saints Catholic Church in Liverpool. To mark the occasion, I joined Archbishop Anthony Fisher, Bishop Emeritus Terry Brady as well as the broader parish community for a celebratory mass and multicultural fete. The campaign for a new church to cater for Liverpool's growing community began in 1961 with a huge collective effort to raise funds for the construction. The foundation stone was blessed on 11 August 1963, with the church opening just a year later. Blessed by Auxiliary Bishop James Freeman, the church is also designated as a war memorial. It was a lovely touch to have Nanette Geogheghan present, the first bride to be wed at All Saints. She and her husband, Ian, who has since passed, were married a few days after the church opened. I give a special acknowledgment to the All Saints social committee, which ensured that the celebration reflected the incredibly diverse nature of the parish. I know that All Saints will continue to be a community mainstay in Liverpool. I wish them the best for the year ahead.
