The Parish Church of Saint Paul
the Apostle, Paddington
St Paul’s Church, with its attached rooms,
house and garden, serves the parish of St
Paul with Christ Church, which stretches
from Oldfield Road to Salford’s Shopping
City. The church seeks to show forth the
love of God in Jesus Christ and central,
therefore, to all its activities is the
Eucharist. Within the Catholic tradition it is
the Mass that matters and a significant
number of adults and children worship regularly at St Paul’s. We try also to serve the
needs of the most disadvantaged in the local community. To this end furniture is re-
cycled on a large scale, food and clothing are provided for the needy and night shelter
for the homeless in emergency. Paper and fabric are recycled as a matter of principle.
Links with all local schools are precious but of special importance is the close relationship
with St Paul’s Church of England Aided School, on Cross Lane.
Address - Paddington Close, Churchill Way, Salford, M6 5JG
Where are we? - You can find us on the Broadwalk, 200 metres from Salford
Shopping City to the North, 400 metres from the Crescent Railway Station to the East.
Broadwalk is a pedestrian way parallel to the A6. click here for a map.

House which is open each day from 07.30 hours until the day’s activity ceases.
Requests may also be made similarly for the ministry of reconciliation and for prayer and
anointing in sickness.
Brief History of the building:
St Paul’s Church was built in 1856 and consecrated in that year by the first Bishop of
Manchester. Designed by Edwin Hugh Shellard in the Gothic style, St Paul’s is a
delightful building of excellent proportions. During its first hundred years, in a district
which experienced grinding poverty, it suffered the ill effects of inadequate funding for
maintenance and the consequence of dire atmospheric pollution. In 1968 Stephen
Dykes Bower, surveyor to Westminster Abbey, came to Salford and put in hand an
extensive programme of repair and adornment. Visitors today come from far and wide to
see a church restored to the beauty of holiness. The pipe organ is the work of Samuel
Green and dates back to 1787, a magnificent baroque instrument, much spoken of and
written about. Of great visual appeal is the fully decorated ceiling which never fails to lift
up hearts and minds. Worth seeing are fine examples of craftsmanship in needlework,
wood work, glazing and metal work. The Altar ornaments are the work of an early 20th
century architect of note, W.D. Caroe. Parishioners care for St Paul’s church with great
devotion and in that work for God is our prayer.
