This church was built by Haydock's successor, Rev Nicholas Rigby (1800 – 7 September 1886) and opened in 1855, it is still in regular use.
Fr.
Rigby established a new cemetery and founded a college which later became the church hall.
About 1884 Rev Rigby handed over the priestly duties to his curate, the Rev. E.J. Hickey.

There was an earlier Catholic church here, built around 1812.
