Background
Architecture
In 1856, six years after the restoration of the English Catholic hierarchy and the creation of the Archdiocese of Liverpool, the Jesuits founded a church in the centre of Prescot and asked Joseph Aloysius Hansom to design it for them. He also designed Church of St. Walburge in Preston, St Joseph's Church in Leigh, St Beuno's Ignatian Spirituality Centre in Tremeirchion and the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus in Manchester for the Jesuits. The building was opened for worship a year later.
