After three years holding their services in St Nicholas and St Faith Church in Alexandra Square, Saltash, the Saltash Roman Catholic Church congregation will move to their new Church of Our Lady of the Angels. The first Mass in the new church will be held at 9am on Palm Sunday. A procession of palms will start outside the church and the congregation will walk into the new church, singing Palm Sunday hymns. The new modern church has been built near the site of the former Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour. The original church was part of the Good Shepherd Convent and was knocked down three years ago due to deterioration of the building. The new Church of Our Lady of the Angels will be part of a new parish which will include Our Lady of St Neot (Liskeard), which will become a chapel of ease, and Our Lady of Victories (Callington). Father Michael Lock will be the parish priest of the new parish. The RC Bishop of Plymouth, the Rt Rev Christopher Budd, has decreed the new parish of the three churches and he will consecrate the new Saltash church on Friday, May 4, at 7pm. On the following Friday, May 11, the bishop will induct Fr Michael Lock as the parish priest, and a confirmation service will be held on Friday, May 18. On Sunday morning – as a thank you to the congregation of St Nicholas and St Faith – a buffet was provided by the Roman Catholic congregation. Brian Whipp, dressed as Sir Francis Drake, thanked the rector and congregation at the end of the Sung Eucharist service.
