St Michael's, Soho Hill, Handsworth

St Michael's Handsworth has stood high on Soho Hill for over 160 years, a faithful, prayerful presence in the catholic tradition, centred around the love of God celebrated, shared and received in the Bread and Wine of the Mass.  We are a small congregation with a big heart and warm welcome seeking to serve our local community.  Our fine Victorian building needs some attention, but we have plans to restore and open our grounds and building more widely for the benefit of the whole locality.  Our Foodbank opens at 11am every Tuesday morning.  Like St Michael the Archangel, we want to bring a bring a bit of heaven down to earth!
