Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Haigh
It is situated within 200 yards of St. David's Protestant Church, Haigh, and is on the very confines of the Diocese of Salford, being within 100 yards of the boundary line which divides the R. C. Dioceses of Liverpool and Salford. The Mission was founded at Blackrod about the year 1852 or 1853 by the late Very Rev. Canon Carter, of Bolton. A year or so after its foundation Father H. Jones was appointed, and he fixed on the present site of the Church as being most central and likely to serve the greatest population. Father Jones built the Church Presbytery and a small School, and the Church was opened about the year 1858.
The church does not have a graveyard. The Catholics have been buried in the churchyard of St David, and there is a now a RC section of the new part of that graveyard.
