2004

The Revd M O Blackman the previous Priest left in May 2003, and Fr. Matthew Ineson SSC is now the Parish Priest.

The Church is currently  fairly well attended, with a congregation of around 45 to 50 adults, and a Sunday School with 30 children on the register. This is a fair increase as the Congregation was down to 9 adults last year.

The church has ( and has had for a long time) a Catholic Tradition. Sunday Mass is at 10am and Mass id offered daily except Fridays.  On 6th September 2004 the church will be celebrating its 155th anniversary of consecration.

In 2004 the Church will be undergoing much needed Restoration, and the Bishop will be re- Hallow the Church early in 2005.  [ Fr Matthew points out that he said Restoration and not re-ordering ]

Many thanks to Fr. Matthew Ineson SSC for contributing current information to this page.

Notes by John Doxey

In an age when the size of Church congregations are dwindling alarmingly, it is very interesting to note that the congregation of Fr Matthew at the Holy Trinity has actually increased considerably in the last twelve Months. Why has it increased ? Well I suppose the best way to find out the answer is to pop along there one Sunday and see for yourself. I would like to know the answer too, so if someone could perhaps email me with the answer I would be pleased to hear from you. I would also like to hear from anyone who has memories of this now Historical Church.

2007

Since Fr. Ineson's arrival the church has been the victim of hooligans which is very sad to hear, especially as the good Fr. has worked very hard in the community, and also during the restoration of the church. He has gained the admiration of many for his efforts since his arrival, and deserves the full support of everyone in the parish, and hopefully the vandalism can be stamped out. The Holy Trinity church is a very important part of the heritage of Dalton, it is also an house of God and like Fr Ineson deserves a great deal of respect.
