THE PARISH OF ST JOHN XXIII PRESTON
Join us at the Parish Church of St Joseph & the
Shrine Church of St Thomas of Canterbury & the English Martyrs
There are five districts of our parish incorporating five former parishes in Preston: St Augustine, St Ignatius, St Joseph, St Teresa and St Thomas of Canterbury & the English Martyrs
Our Parish
The Parish of St John XXIII, Preston was formed in October 2014 out of the two parishes of Christ the King and St Ignatius with the English Martyrs. These two parishes were formed from five older parishes which we now call 'districts' of our parish: St Augustine of Canterbury, St Ignatius of Loyola, St Joseph, St Teresa and St Thomas of Canterbury & the English Martyrs. Our parish in its very nature speaks of the changing demographics of Catholicism in Preston. Yet, in all change our parish is a community filled with hope, ever trusting in the loving Providence of God.
​
Our parish spans much of central, south and east of the City of Preston from The Harris Building and the Flag Market to Preston Cemetery. From river Ribble towards Walton-le-Dale to the the edges of Fulwood on Watling Street Road. The civil Wards within are our parish (in part or in full) are City Centre, Plungington, Garrison, Deepdale, St Matthews, Ribbleton, Fishwick & Frenchwood.
It is a privilege and delight to receive everyone who walks through the doors of our two church buildings.
