Reverses the trend towards minimal religious observance: hundreds attend each of the five weekend services (including many young families) and up to fifty at daily lunchtime mass. Parishioners are also active in local charity work. There is a black & white photograph https://www.francisfrith.com/altrincham/altrincham-st-vincent-s-church-1906_55743 of St Vincent's in the Francis Frith Collection - from around 1906, when it was founded - showing the building standing in isolation with no trees and no houses to the south.
