St Austin's Church, Wakefield

St Austin's Church is a Roman Catholic Church building in Wakefield, England. It is situated near where Northgate meets Marsh Way close to the city centre. It was founded in 1827 by the Society of Jesus and is a Grade II listed building. Foundation In 1824, plans were put into motion by the architect Joseph Ireland creating designs for the church. He was previously the architect for the chapel at Houghton Hall and worked with Joseph John Scoles. Two years later, a Jesuit priest, Fr John George Morris SJ, came to the parish to start a mission there. Construction of the church began the next year and on 4 March 1828 by the Vicar Apostolic of the Northern District, Thomas Smith. Expansion Extension In 1852, the Catholic population had increased to such an extent that the church needed to be extended and a school built to cope with larger congregation. The length of the church was increased and a balcony was added. In 1859, foundations for the school were laid. In the 1860s and 1870s the local Catholic population continued to rise and the church was again extended. The presbytery was moved to a separate house so that the church could be extended into the previous one. In 1878, a lady chapel, designed by Joseph Hansom was added to St Austin's. Daughter church In December 1877, the parish need to expand, because numbers were increasing and it was too spread out geographically. It was decided that the Jesuits would build a new chapel, in South Ossett so the Catholics there would not have to travel to Wakefield for Mass every Sunday. The church was St Ignatius and was dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola. It became a church and a parish in 1910 when it was handed over the Diocese of Leeds. The church that replaced the chapel was built in 1933 and it still remains as a parish. In 1931, the Jesuits handed over St Austin's parish to the Diocese of Leeds who continue to serve the church. Parish In 2008, the parish of English Martyrs (created in 1932) merged with St Austin's to form the parish of St Martin de Porres, which was subsequently renamed St Austin's and English Martyrs Parish. St Austin's Church has four Sunday Masses, one on Saturday evening at 6:15 pm, 8:15 am and 11:00 am on Sunday morning at another at 6:00 pm on Sunday evening. English Martyrs Church has one Sunday Mass at 9:30 am. The two nearby school, St Austin's Catholic Primary School and English Martyrs Catholic Primary School, have a relationship with the parish and both state that they offer "a Catholic education within a Christian community".

The architect died before the building was completed and the church was finished under the supervision of his brother Sydney W. Doyle. The church building cost £14,000 and, with the internal fittings, its total cost was about £25,000 (equivalent to £2,490,000 in 2025). In the 1960s pews were removed from the east end of the nave, and a nave altar and communion rails were installed. A small kitchen was added to the rear of the church in 1999, and since then more pews have been removed to create an open space at the west end of the nave. Architecture Exterior The church is built in specially moulded bricks of various sizes, with red sandstone dressings, and the roof is of slate. The architectural style is Perpendicular. Inside, the columns are in Storeton stone. The plan of the church consists of a four-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles under lean-to roofs, two south porches, north and south transepts, a chancel with a south chapel and a northeast vestry, and a west tower. The tower has a west entrance, above which is a three-light window. The bell openings are paired with louvres, and above them is a cornice and an arcaded embattled parapet. The porches also have embattled parapets. The windows along the sides of the aisles and the clerestory have three lights, and those in the transepts and the chancel have five lights. The chapel windows have three lights, and those in the vestry have two and three lights. Interior Inside the church are five-bay arcades between the nave and aisles, and a three-bay arcade between the chancel and the chapel, the latter being more ornate than the former. In the east window is a war memorial in stained glass by H. G. Hiller. The two-manual pipe organ was built by Henry Willis & Sons, and there have been alterations and repairs since. The organ case was designed by Sydney W. Doyle. There is a ring of eight bells installed in 2010: the six largest bells were transferred from St James, Waterfoot, Lancashire, and the two smallest bells from elsewhere. Notable members Paul McCartney said on The Late Late Show with James Corden that he sang in the choir of St Barnabas' Church when he was young.

Manchester Oratory

The Oratory Church of Saint Chad's, Manchester (Manchester Oratory for short) is a Grade II listed Catholic church in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, England. It was constructed between 1846 and 1847, on the east side of Cheetham Hill Road. The parish functions under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford. Origins St Chad's is the Catholic mother-church of Manchester, tracing its origins back to the 1770s. With the legacy of £200 from the will of the Revd Edward Helme (the first resident Catholic priest since the Reformation) a chapel dedicated to St Chad was built on Rook Street off Market Street in 1776 (now lost under new buildings). The Revd Roland Broomhead became the first Rector 1776–1820, and built new chapels of St Mary Mulberry Street and St Augustine, Granby Row. He died shortly after the opening of the latter, after which St Chad's became chapel-of-ease to the new church. However, due to a growing need, it became an independent mission again in 1835 when Fr William Turner, who would later become the first Bishop of Salford, was appointed to take charge. He was succeeded in 1842 by Fr Robert Croskell, later to be the second Provost and Vicar General of the Diocese. The Rook Street chapel was sold in 1846 to be converted into a warehouse. For a short time there was a chapel-of-ease served from St Chad's; St William's on Simpson Street in Angel Meadow (1865–1905). Construction The new church was designed by Weightman and Hadfield in the Gothic Revival style for Fr Robert Croskell. Building work commenced in April 1846 and the new church was opened 4 August 1847 by Bishop George Hilary Brown. Clergy 1778-1820 – Rev Rowland Broomhead 1820-1838 – Served from St Augustine’s, Granby Row 1838-1853 – Provost Robert Croskell VG 1853-1891 – Canon William Sheehan VG 1891-1900 – Mgr Charles Gadd VG 1900-1905 – Dean John Hennesey 1905-1908 – Fr John Crombleholme 1909-1925 – Fr Denis Sheahan 1926-1940 – Canon Joseph Callaway 1940-1944 – Fr Joseph McEnery 1944-1949 – Fr James Kelly 1949-1964 – Fr Herbert J Power 1965-1974 – Fr Vincent Sweeney 1974-2003 – Fr Bernard McGarry The church was served by clergy of the Salford Diocese until 2003 when the last secular Parish Priest retired. The church was then served for a period from St Anne, Crumpsall. In 2007, the Premonstratensians took up residence following the closure of Corpus Christi Priory, Miles Platting, however they only stayed for a short period. St Chad's then served as the residence for the Strangeways Prison chaplain. In 2013, the Oratorian community from the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, Manchester took over St Chad's with permission to establish the Manchester Oratory of St Philip Neri there. The Manchester Oratory was founded at St Chad's on 1 November 2019.

Kościół św. Chada w Manchesterze

Kościół św. Chada w Manchesterze (ang. Oratory Church of Saint Chad's, Manchester; skrót: The Manchester Oratory) – rzymskokatolickie publiczne oratorium w Manchesterze, w Wielkiej Brytanii. Duszpasterstwo w świątyni prowadzi Kongregacja Oratorium św. Filipa Neri. Znajduje się w diecezji Salford. Lokalizacja Kościół znajduje się w Cheetham, w Manchesterze, przy skrzyżowaniu Cheetham Hill Road i St. Chads Street. Patron Patronem świątyni jest św. Chad. Wezwanie to nawiązuje do nieistniejącej obecnie kaplicy św. Chada, od tradycji której oratorium wywodzi swoją historię. Kaplica św. Chada powstała w latach 70. XVIII w., gdy praktykowanie katolicyzmu było oficjalnie zakazane, jako pierwsza kaplica katolicka w Manchesterze od czasów reformacji. Katolicy, którzy przetrwali w Manchesterze trwające od XVI w. antykatolickie prześladowania, wybrali za patrona św. Chada – biskupa tego regionu Anglii z VII w., aby podkreślić, że wyznają tę samą wiarę, w którą wierzył św. Chad. Historia Kościół św. Chada w Manchesterze został zbudowany w latach 1846–1847, jako pierwszy kościół katolicki w Manchesterze po akcie emancypacji katolików z 1829, a uroczystość jego otwarcia była pierwszym odprawieniem rytuału katolickiego z masowym udziałem wiernych w Manchesterze od ponad 300 lat. Od 1921 kościół gościł wspólnotę ukraińsko-katolicką (od 1947 mającą rangę parafii). Nabożeństwa bizantyjsko-ukraińskie zakończono odprawiać w 1954, gdy społeczność ukraińska zakupiła własny kościół. Kościół był restaurowany w latach 1949–1951 i na przełomie XX i XXI w. W 1965 został przearanżowany w celu dostosowania do zreformowanej liturgii rzymskiej. 3 października 1974 kościół wraz z przyległa plebanią i murem został wpisany na listę zabytków II klasy. Do 2003 kościół był obsługiwany przez rezydujących przy nim duchownych diecezji Salford. Od 2013 należy on do filipinów. Architektura i sztuka Kościół został zaprojektowany w stylu gotyku wertykalnego. Zbudowany jest z piaskowca Todmorden Summit i pokryty łupkowym dachem. W prezbiterium ołtarz główny zawierający relikwie św. Chada, witraż przedstawiający sceny z życia św. Chada z 1847 i malowidła ścienne z 1856. Podłoga wyłożona jest lastrykiem i marmurem. Po bokach prezbiterium znajdują się kaplice boczne Matki Bożej (strona północna) i św. Filipa (strona południowa) z witrażami autorstwa Williama Wailesa. W nawie sześcioprzęsłowe arkady z ośmiokątnymi filarami. Podłoga wyłożona jest lastrykiem. Nad nawą góruje rzeźbiona ambona z baldachimem. Uwagi Przypisy
