New chapter in church’s history

Work is well under way on our history of the Holy Spirit Church and St Patrick’s School in Heckmondwike.

It’s a great story of a Catholic community, of two Irish priests, one of whom who sold his own art collection to build a church and became G K Chesterton’s “Father Brown”; the other of whom who was a friend and chaplain of the Apollo astronauts and the American Ryder Cup golf team – and much, much more.

The book also includes a page where people can remember their deceased families and friends.

For more information and to pre-order a copy of the book (pay later) please ring me on 01924 501774 or e mail me [email protected].
