Welcome
Welcome to the home page of St. Paul's Church, Oldham, in Hathershaw - part of the Church of England Diocese of Manchester.
We work closely with the parish of St. Thomas, Werneth.
The Notices
Annual Parochial Church Meeting will take place after church at approximately 11:00 am on Sunday 17 May. The The Annual Report will be considered. Elections will be held for:
- 2 Churchwardens;
- 2 Deanery Synod Representatives, and
- 5 PCC members.
Hard copies of paperwork, and nomination forms are available on the back windowsill.
Admission to Holy Communion St. Paul's admits children and young people over the age of 7 to Holy Communion, on the understanding that they and their family are happy for them to do so; they are baptised, and that they regularly attend church with their family. If you are happy for your child to attend training from September, please fill out a form, and speak to Zahra or Nick.
Coffee Morning The next one is at 10:00 am - 12 noon on Saturday 6 June.
Building Fund Appeal
St. Paul's appeal for the Church Building Fund now totals £4,676.91. A grant has been awarded for £100,740.15 . We are raising money for:
- fees for design work above the Chancel Arch;
- fees for design work beneath the floor of the Community Room;
- removal of plaster above the Chancel Arch;
- construction work on the floor beneath the Community Room; and
- new chairs and dollies for the Community Room.
UPDATE
Starting Work We hope to begin commissioning elements of the work in the next few weeks.
Roof Repairs: Pre-applications made to the War Memorials Trust indicated that the work is not eligible for grants from them. The work has gone out to tender. An application has been made for permission to complete the work under "List B". Grant applications still need to be made.
Envelopes are still available on the back window sill.
Thank you for your generosity.
