Part of the Convent here, which provides a place of prayer and devotion for the Care Home residents, staff and nuns, but also offers weekly Mass on Thursdays open to all comers in the Bowdon Vale area. There was a time - when priests from St Vincent's, Altrincham, were plentiful - that Mass was celebrated daily, but this was reduced to Sundays and Thursdays, and now to only one day per week. The Sunday service was well attended by Catholics from Hale, Altrincham and Bowdon and there was an active choir comprising both nuns and parishioners.
