Denomination: Roman Catholic
Built in 1957, Guardian Angels’ Church is a vaguely Romanesque style building, typical of the time. Designed by architect Richard Byrom of Bury, the walls are Accrington brick, laid in Flemish bond and the roof is natural slate. Apart from a re-ordering of the sanctuary, relocation of the baptismal font and some serious re-decoration, the internal structure is little altered from its original design.
Our parish serves the north side of Bury within the Diocese of Salford alongside our sister parishes – St Hilda’s Tottington and St Joseph’s Ramsbottom.
The church is easily accessible with ample on site parking (including disabled parking bays). We also have over spill parking facilities on Sundays in Guardian Angels’ School playground.
We are a truly ‘friendly’ parish offering a very warm and hospitable welcome to everyone in our community. Our facilities include: wheelchair access (including disabled parking and toilet facilities), bike rack, loop system, large print newsletters, baby-changing, children’s liturgy of the word (at all masses), children’s chapel and a sound proof family room with large screen so that young families can enjoy Mass without worrying about a little bit of noise!
Our church is bright and warm with a good sound system and many lovely features that represent our parish community. We have a very active and diverse music ministry providing music and choral accompaniment at all weekend Masses.
We have tea & coffee after both our Sunday morning Masses, so do come and join us in the Parish Centre – you never know who you might meet!
We also have a well stocked library opposite our Welcome & Information Centre, with hundreds of books on the church, saints, prayer, spirituality, children’s religious books and much more. Parishioners are welcome to borrow any books from the library – just remember to bring them back!
Have a look through our gallery of pictures to see our beautiful church for yourself or, better still, just pop in and have a look around or join us at one of our weekend services.
