Our Lady of Lourdes & Saint Gregory's Parish Company Information
General information
The Parish of Our Lady of Lourdes was originally part of St. Gregorys Parish. Until the end of the Great War in 1918 the area was mainly rural in character. However around this time the Farnworth Urban District Council realised that a great number of the inhabitants of Farnworth were living in houses which were not fit for human habitation. To their credit they were the first municipal authority in the whole of England to advocate and carry out a slum clearance policy, re-housing the displaced tenants in Council Houses. Highfield was the first of the new Council Estates to be completed and this was followed rapidly by the New Bury and Harper Green Estates.
It soon became apparent to the Diocesan Authorities that a Chapel of Ease would be required for the many Catholics who lived in the area and in 1931 Bishop Henshaw came personally to inspect the locality. He decided that it should become a separate Parish and plans were set up accordingly.
