Our Parish lies at the heart of Bootle. It opened as far back as 1845 to help Bootle Catholics worship locally and enable them to get to Mass without having to walk all the way to St. Anthony’s on Scotland Road, Liverpool

Today we are in the care of the Salesian family, with strong support from the Sisters of Maria Auxiliatrice. However, following the example and inspiration of St. John Bosco, we place young people at the centre of our prayer and work. We also serve and work very closely with our 2 Catholic School of All Saint Catholic Primary and Savio Salesian College

Solemnity of The Most Holy Trinity
Once a young boy stood watching a gypsy as he drank from a well in the town square. After drinking, the man continued to gaze into the well, as though looking at someone. He was a giant of a man but had a friendly face. So the boy approached him and asked: “Who lives down there?” “God does,” answered the gypsy. “Can I see him?” “Sure you can, “ said the gypsy. Then taking the boy into his arms he lifted him up so that he could see down the well. All the boy could see, however, was his own reflection in the water. “But that’s only me,” he cried in disappointment. “All I see is me.” “Ah,” replied the gypsy, “now you know where God lives. He lives in you.”
