It is situated between The Green and Heston Road, opposite Rosary Catholic Primary School. It was built in the early 1960s, contains stained glass designed by Pierre Fourmaintraux and is in a local conservation area.[1]
History [ edit ] Originally, the local catholic community was served by the White Fathers from a small church in the area. They founded the parish in the 1928, and built the original church in the area in 1929,[2] but left it to the care of the diocese in the 1960s. With the growing population, the church was too small, so a larger one needed to be built. The new church was to be built on the site formerly occupied by the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa . On 13 July 1963, the foundation stone was laid and the church was opened in 1964. It was designed by Burles, Newton & Partners, who also designed St Francis de Sales Church in Hampton Hill and Upper Teddington, cost £42,000 and has capacity for 450 to 500 people.[1] It was consecrated on 19 May 1974.[2]
On 1 October 2017 the Vocationist Fathers came to the parish and continue to serve there today.[3]
In 1972, Rosary Catholic Primary School was built, which continues its relationship with the local church.[4]
