We would love to welcome you to Holy Rood Church on Moorside Road in Swinton where our Sunday Morning Service starts at 10am; it's a service of Sung Eucharist i.e. Holy Communion to a sung setting with hymns, readings and prayers. Afterwards you are invited to join us in the Memorial Hall next to the church for coffee and conversation.

Please note: regrettably the Memorial Hall is not available for hire for any private parties. 

On Saturday 14th June 2025 we have our Summer Fair in the Memorial Hall which is open from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.

Revd Dudley Barnett will be celebrating the 60th Anniversary of becoming a priest with two special services: (i) at 10am on Sunday 15th June at St Clements in Ordsall (which will be followed by a light buffet) and (ii) at 7pm on Thursday, 19th June at St James (Hope) Church which will also be followed by refreshments.

COME AND SING IN OUR CHURCH CHOIR ~ We have vacancies in our church choir for sopranos, altos, tenors and basses! You may already sing in a choir, but if you like singing hymns and other sacred music you might like to join our church choir as well. Our Sunday services start at 10 am. We sing lots of favourite traditional hymns and some of the well established modern worship songs too. We have a sung setting for the Gloria, Sanctus, etc. We use three settings, and if there are sufficient in the choir, we sometimes sing a short anthem too. An ability to read music is not essential, though, if you read a little, it helps with learning new hymns and pieces. We have choir practice on Sunday mornings, before the 10 am Eucharist. We meet in church at 9.30 am and robe in cassock and surplice. Be part of something special to enhance our worship. You would be very welcome.I look forward to hearing from you.Gary Owen, ARCO, LLCM, LTCL Organist & Choirmaster
