Permission for the building of the new church was given by Archbishop Grimshaw in November 1964. Plans were drawn up in 1964, lanning permission obtained in 1965. In 1965, construction began on the new church. Most of the cost was raised from the parishioners, who also to save money gave their time and labour. The Foundation stone was laid by Archbishop George Patrick Dwyer on the feast of Corpus Christi 9th June 1966. The church seats about 850 people. The church was officially opened on 1st July 1967 by Archbishop Hyginus E. Cardinale, Papal Delegate to great Britain.
