History
|
Prior to the 1960's Radcliffe-on-Trent, Bingham and district was part of the Catholic parish of the Holy Spirit in West Bridgeford. The priest came out to Radcliffe-on-Trent each Sunday to offer Mass in a tin hut on lower Shelford Road. Land was purchased and a new hall was built and blessed in l962 by the late Bishop Edward Ellis and St. Anne's parish was born. The area covered by St. Anne's Parish stretches from Gamston
to
Bottesford and takes in about 28 villages as well as
Radcliffe-on-Trent and Bingham town. Parishioners may travel 8-10 miles
to celebrate Sunday Mass together and receive
Jesus in Holy Communion. In the 1980s extensions were made to St. Anne's hall
providing
catering facilities, a meeting room and extra seating for weekend
Masses. Later, in the 1990s, the presbytery was extended, adding an
office and a small reception room. A new sacristy was also built on to
the hall. It was only on 26th July 2002, on the 40th anniversary of
it's opening, that St. Anne's was consecrated as a Church by the
present Bishop, Rt. Rev. Malcolm McMahon O.P. St. Anne's is a member of the Catholic Diocese of
Nottingham. |
