Saint Mary's Church, Holyhead, Roman Catholic church in Holyhead, Wales
Saint Mary's Church in Holyhead is a modern Roman Catholic place of worship with a distinctive copper roof and formal square design. The building sits on an elevated platform along Longford Road and commands attention with its structured architectural presence.
The current building opened in 1965 to replace an earlier chapel from 1860 that could only hold around 150 worshippers. This new structure vastly increased seating to about 880 places for the expanding congregation.
The parish maintains strong connections with St Mary's Catholic Primary School and regularly conducts morning prayers followed by weekday Mass services.
The church is easily accessible and located in a central area of Holyhead with convenient access. Visitors should note that regular services are held throughout the week and checking current times beforehand is advisable.
In the 1990s the site was expanded with a new hall and library that strengthened its purpose beyond worship alone. These additions allowed the place to function as a hub for various community activities.
