Description

St Bernadette's Catholic Church

The parish was dedicated to St. Bernadette, the visionary of Lourdes. Fr Albert Lakin of Holy Souls (1929-1949) bought, in 1940 on a site in Ashby sufficient for a new church and priest’s house. In 1939 he opened a Mass-centre, which was housed in hired rooms (an Anglican church hall served the purpose at one time) until 1950. A temporary chapel was then built with voluntary labour, and opened on 26 October 1950. The present church was consecrated in December 1980, and a parish centre, originally built as St. Bernadette’s Catholic Social Club in 1965 , was rebuilt and enlarged in 1999 .
