dunsbyowl1867 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Obviously not the first Catholic Church in Sheffield but the first to be opened since the reformation. I often used to spend a few minutes in here when in town away form the noise and bustle of the city centre. Opened in 1850 St Maries became the Cathedral of the new Diocese of Hallam in 1980.

Opened in 1850 St Maries became the Cathedral of the new Diocese of Hallam in 1980. when my hubby used to make and repair leaded lights and stained glass windows, he remade all the windows for st maries and put the plastic sheeting up that now protects them from vandelism. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest plain talker Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 That drawing of St Maries is a lovely one, but, the cynic in me wonders how the artist managed to see all that detail, and fit all that open space in, around the church, with the georgian houses on Norfolk Row being in the way. I suspect the artist was the same plank who did the mock-ups of the frontage of the Leopold St development, showing a vista with a huge plaza where steel city house is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheffield Steve Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Why is the Catholic Cathedral shop never open? (the Hallam Book Shop opposite)? I know the lady who run it was getting fed up because she had no help, and SCC where putting up the Council Tax for the place, but the shop is fully stocked but never open. Does anybody know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only me Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Can anyone remember a Father John Kinsella who was based at St Maries some years ago? Just wondered how he was, and where he is these days ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheffield Steve Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I remember him well, but have no idea of his whereabouts. The Bishop is always moving Priests about, I just feel sorry for Fr Des. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysanderix Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 My cousin converted to Catholicism just before she was diagnosed, in her 30s, of terminal cancer. Her husband and mother paid for a stained glass window to be placed in the Cathedral…as a memorial..where it still is. I occasionally call and say a few words to Gill.
