From St. James's, Pendleton, and from St. Mary's, Swinton, there came this new foundation in 1922. Fr. Thomas Singleton founded the new parish. A great benefactor of the parish was Miss Agnes Murray.

A church was opened in 1924. Fr. Joseph O'Donnell succeeded Fr. Singleton and stayed for a number of years. The present parish priest is Fr. Thomas O'Shaughnessey.

Taken from "Salford Diocese and its Catholic past", a survey by Charles A. Bolton, a Priest of the above Diocese. Published 1950 on the First Centenary for the Diocese of Salford.
