The Mass of Installation of The Most Reverend John Sherrington as Tenth Archbishop of Liverpool took place at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool, on the Feast of Saint Augustine of Canterbury, Tuesday 27th May 2025.
Contacting Fr Simon
As you are probably aware, Fr Simon will not be resident at Euxton until essential renovations of the Presbytery are completed, and therefore at the moment will only be at Euxton to celebrate Mass (and other Services) and for arranged meetings.
We don't have an office staff, so it isn't advisable to rely on messages left on the answerphone..... consequently the best method of contact is via the parish email stmary.euxton@rcaol.org.uk
Obviously you can see Fr Simon after Mass if you wish to do so.
Given the recent major changes quite a few of the parish contact points mentioned on the website are now out of date, If you need to contact the parish and are unsure of who you need, please send an email to the Parish email address.
Communicating with you
We circulate the Parish Newsletter and Deanery and Archdiocesan news on a weekly basis to our email subscribers in addition to ad-hoc Parish news as required. If you want to subscribe to the Parish mailing list please enter your contact details by following THIS LINK.

 June 8 Last week of our First Holy Communions. Prayers and congratulations to all the children. May their gift to Jesus on this birthday of the Church be to visit Him at Mass each week. |  June 8 |

 June 8 |  June 1 Today we marked the start of June, the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The relic is of St Margaret Mary Alacoque. O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and suffering of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. |
 June 1 Penultimate First Communions at 10.30am Mass today. The love of the Heart of Jesus has brought them to this moment. It calls to all Catholics to do likewise every Sunday. |  June 1 |
 May 25 Another first Communion Sunday! Our prayers and congratulations to the children and their families. |  May 25 |
 May 25 |  May 18 A great crowd for our May Procession and Crowning. Thanks to Mrs Noblet and the school and to our torch bearers, statue carriers and banner bearers, and to the Chorley Silver Band. Another special occasion for our First Communion children. A few damp eyes among our older parishioners as they recalled May Processions of long ago. Memories made again for the children of today. O Mary we crown thee we crown thee with blossoms today, Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May! |

 May 11 Lovely morning celebrating the first of our Holy Communions, followed by a Baptism. Not sure if the baby was speaking in tongues but there was sure a lot of sound praising God! Congratulation to all! Plus four prospective new altar servers on our ongoing recruitment list! |  May 11 |
 May 11 |  As we come towards the end of the Easter Octave, a few photos from a wonderful Holy Week. Particularly the Easter Vigil, with great numbers attending, when we received two new people into God's Church. |
