Catholics in Oxford — Centenary Edition

A special edition to mark the 150th anniversary of St Aloysius Church (1875–2025)

First published in 1925, Catholics in Oxford by Fr C.C. Martindale SJ is a vivid and engaging account of the Catholic revival in Oxford. This centenary edition commemorates both the original publication and the 150th anniversary of St Aloysius’ Church — the parish at the heart of that revival, now home to the Oxford Oratory.

Fr Martindale traces the often dramatic and moving history of the Church in Oxford, from the era of the Reformation martyrs through to the Jesuit missions to the city; how Oxford very nearly became Catholic again more than once; and on to the remarkable Catholic resurgence in the 19th century that led to the building of St Aloysius.

A fascinating read for anyone interested in the return of the Catholic faith to England, and especially for those who know and love the city and characters Fr Martindale describes.
