Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a Roman Catholic Church located on High Park Street in Dingle, Liverpool. It is a special place of worship for many people in the area. The church was built because the local community needed a bigger space to gather.

Before the main church was built, people used a smaller chapel in a school starting in 1866. This chapel was also dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The beautiful church building we see today officially opened its doors on July 21, 1878.

History of the Church

A Special Building

In December 2009, something important happened for the church. The church building and the house next to it, called the presbytery, were given a special status. They became "Grade II listed." This means they are important historical buildings that need to be protected.

Joining Parishes

In 2001, the church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel became even more important to the community. It joined with another nearby church's area, called St Finbar's parish. The St Finbar church had closed down and was taken apart in 2003. This meant that Our Lady of Mount Carmel welcomed even more people into its community.
