The parish has existed since 1953, but at first used private premises. The church was built in 1960 as a "temporary" structure, never replaced and unlikely to be in the foreseeable future. Facilities have been gradually modernised, most recently with new heating arrangements and a sound system including an induction loop for hearing aids.
The principal space is divided by a folding screen into the church proper and a social area at the back. Ancillary areas include priest’s and servers’ sacristies, toilets and a kitchen.
The church has no claim to architectural distinction, but does possess a memorial stained-glass window, and a Bavarian carved altarpiece inherited from Egremont parish on the construction there of a new church with which it would have been incongruous.
The social area is used for various functions, such as the refreshments taken after the first Sunday of most months, a pancake party on Shrove Tuesday, a Seder (Passover meal) towards the end of Lent, and a dinner around Christmas. It can be made available to other groups when not required for parish purposes.
