Welcome to St Gregory's Catholic Church Sileby

Welcome to St Gregory's Catholic Church Sileby, in the parish of Sacred Heart and St Gregory's.

Sileby is an old village which expanded in the mid-nineteenth century with the coming of the Midland Railway line. A Mass centre was established in 1842, served by Fathers of Charity (Rosminians) from the newly established Ratcliffe College. The present church was opened in 1877 and was the first of the Rosminian missions in the Soar valley.

 

St Gregory's Church

 

The Rosminians relinquished the care of the parish in 1971, and Diocesan priests were resident in Sileby from 1971 until 2002. It remained an independent parish with the priest resident in Syston until 2023 when the parishes of St Gregory's and Sacred Heart in Loughborough were joined together.
