Welcome to

BIRKDALE
CATHOLICS

 THREE CHURCHES TOGETHER - ONE FAMILY

We hope to welcome you in person at one of our churches -

St Joseph's, St Teresa of Avila, or Our Lady of Lourdes and that you'll find in our community spiritual and social support.

I was appointed parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes and St Joseph's in September 2004, and to St Teresa of Avila in April 2017. It goes with the territory of being parish priest to serve the parish school. I am committed, with the other foundation governors, to the Catholic ethos of our School and support staff and pupils in living and sharing the faith.

Originally from Iceland, I have lived in the Archdiocese of Liverpool since 2000 after finishing my training for the priesthood in Rome. Unlike many priests I have never played golf but am good at cooking pasta!
