According to the prosPectus, information concerning
the school could be obtained at the residence of the
Xaverian Brothers at 64 Grosvenor Street, Manchester.
This was a new address. Ever since their arrival in the
city, after their departure from Bury, the Xaverians had

in due course, God willing, enable it to acquire property
in its own name and make a Permanent foundation. If
Mr. Ryken did not initiate the move, he certainly had

The former pastor of St. Augustine's, now the Rt.
Rev. William Turner, the first Catholic bishop in
Lancashire after the restoration of the hierarchy, had
moved to St. John's Church, Salford, which Dr. Sharples,
the last of the Vicars Apostolic, had completed two

To succeed him at St. Augustine's, he named Father
Croskell, a former curate in the parish, who since 1842
had been pastor of St. Chad's, the oldest parish in the

the old St. Chad's and built a new church and who had
induced the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur to take
care of his school for girls, may be the explanation of
the changes that took place in Granby Row subsequent
