Welcome!
It is our hope that you will enjoy your visit to this ACNY page, but also find it to be interesting and helpful and a means of discovering who we are and what happens at St Hilda, Prestwich. We are a growing church that sits within the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England. Our motto is ‘Faith and Fun’, one that expresses our dual focus of a church with its the heart in the local community. The congregation is open and has a welcome second to none that encompasses all ages and backgrounds, and sets no expectations other than a willingness to embrace the love of God.
Once you have looked at St Hilda's on ACNY, we hope that you might feel motivated to visit us and to worship Almighty God amongst a congregation who would love to meet you as an individual, or as a family and hope that you might become part of the family of St Hilda.
