Situated on Oxford Road at the heart of the University of Manchester, the famous Holy Name Church serves the university community in Manchester. Built and served by members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), the Holy Name is a still and sacred point in the middle of an internationally important area of study, research and health care.
Update 6th November 2020.
The government's new lockdown restrictions prohibit the celebration of public Masses, so we are forced to suspend them until such time as the government changes the regulations or the lockdown ends, but the church will be open six days a week for private prayer, and we will celebrate a Sunday Mass on Zoom at 11am - message us on Facebook or email aperez[at]jesuit.org.uk to get the link.
Our lockdown timetable is as follows:
Monday to Friday: Church open 11am to 1pm for private prayer.
Saturday: Closed
Sunday: Mass on Zoom at 11am. Church open 3pm to 5pm for private prayer.

Baptisms & Marriage
Holy Name is not a parish church but is a part of the Catholic Chaplaincy to the institutions of higher education in Manchester. (We are in fact in the parish of St Augustine). The Diocese of Salford authorises us to celebrate the sacraments of Baptism and Matrimony only for students currently enrolled, and academic staff, at one of those institutions. If you have an enquiry regarding one of these sacraments, please contact Fr Brendan Callaghan SJ, who will be very happy to help you: bcallaghansj@jesuit.org.uk
