We are friendly church here at St Marks and our church has been serving the community for nearly 150 years. The steeple towers over the town of St Helens as a beacon of light and hope.
An original church was replaced with the current building which was the brain child of Fr Reginald Riley, SJ, who was the parish priest from 1912 to 1946. It was built between 1924 and 1930 to the designs of the Dublin architect, CB Powell and is a listed building. It was officially opened in October 1929.
