Sacred
Trinity
Sacred Trinity are a welcoming
congregation worshipping in a
small but lovely building with lots of historic interest.  Sacred Trinity was the first church in Salford but is right
next to Manchester city centre and we relate to both the city centre and the rest of Salford.  The building is also
host to a variety of different groups.

Brief history of the building.
Sacred Trinity church was originally built as a chapel-of-ease to serve the growing population of Salford in 1635.  Most of
the current building dates from 1752.  It is a 2* listed building with many original features. It was restored in 1877-74 and
adapted for more flexible use in the 1980’s.  Sir Humphrey Booth raised the money for the original church.  His
grandson, also Humphrey Booth, set up a trust to maintain the church and help the ‘poor of Salford’.  The Humphrey
Booth Trust is still doing its good work.
Sanctus2nds happens on the 2nd Sunday
of the month at 4 pm.
