Our Lady of Compassion Parish Centre is not a commercial venue; it is a vital, multi-purpose space reserved exclusively for organisations that share and uphold our mission of faith and service. Located on Church Road, this centre acts as the operational heartbeat of our Catholic Church outreach, education and social care initiatives within Formby.
We offer professional, well-maintained facilities for our core Parish Groups, essential Community Partners and approved external Businesses/Organisations, whose work aligns with the values of the Archdiocese of Liverpool church.
Our Centre: Supporting the Pillars of Community Life
The Parish Centre is carefully managed to provide the ideal environment for groups committed to positive local impact, addressing both spiritual and practical needs.
| Groups We Support | Key Services Delivered | How We Help You |
| Parish Groups (e.g., The Chattery, Sacramental Preparation) | Formby spiritual guidance, family activities and fellowship, reinforcing the welcoming family atmosphere. | Provide a permanent, accessible and secure location for regular meetings and grown in faith. |
| Community Partners (e.g., Compassion Acts, Churches Together) | Run essential Formby social outreach programs like the Formby Pantry, Formby Warm Space and clinics offering Formby debt advice and Formby welfare support. | Offer a low-cost, discreet and reliable venue, to deliver crucial support directly to the local community in need. |
| Approved Organisations (Commercial /Educational) | Deliver professional training, structured classes or workshops that promote moral, educational or ethical development. | Supply a high-quality, professional venue, under clear usage terms, that protect your organisation and ours. |
