Welcome to St Boniface, the Catholic church in Freemantle and Shirley. Our church, with its bell tower, is a prominent feature on Shirley High Street. We offer a range of activities from coffee mornings to a flourishing youth club and work with other churches in Shirley to respond to the social needs of our area. We have a wide ethnic mix, with many newcomers from India, Africa, the Philippines and Eastern Europe.
