Over the years, the Holy Rosary Church on Fitton Hill has stood as more than just bricks and mortar – it’s been a place where people came together, shared stories, supported one another, and built a strong sense of community.
Sadly, like too many community buildings in recent times, it’s been left unused for far too long. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
There’s a real opportunity here to bring the Holy Rosary Church back into use – not just as a place of worship, but as a hub for local groups, youth activities, wellbeing support, and services that matter to local people on Fitton Hill.
We’ve got incredible community spirit in Oldham. If we can come together – residents, local organisations, and the council – we can breathe new life into this space and make it work for the community once more.
If you’re part of a local group that could use a base, or if you’ve got ideas for how the building could serve the surrounding community once again, I want to hear from you.
Let’s not let another community asset go to waste. Let’s bring Holy Rosary back to life – for the people of our borough.
