A warm and friendly welcome awaits you from the people and priests at Saint Francis, the Church of England at the heart of Friar Park.

Five minutes or so from either Junction 9 of the M6 or Junction 1 of the M5, Saint Francis of Assisi, Friar Park, was consecrated in 1940. Beautifully restored over the last decade and a half, Saint Francis' Church is a stunning gem of a building in the Italian style, with work by Italian prisoners of war.

Worship is in the Modern Catholic Tradition of the Church of England, with accessible liturgy, simple straightforward teaching, and a good and lively mix of music styles.

Sunday Mass is now at 10.00am. On Weekdays Mass is normally celebrated on Thursday at 9.30am, and both Wednesday and Friday 7.30pm.  Occasional evening services often include the service of Benediction.

The House of Bishops' Declaration has been accepted by the PCC, and the Bishop of the Diocese has placed the parish in the extended episcopal care of the Bishop of Oswestry..
