LIVESIMPLY
This section of the website reflects Bishop Eton's Live Simply journey For St Mary's journey visit https://www.stmaryswoolton.org.uk/en/living-simply
In March 2024 both parishes were awarded the Live Simply Award.
In September 2025 the parishes of Our Lady of the Annunciation Bishop Eton, St Mary's Woolton and St John Vianney joined forces to form LiveSimplyTogether
Purpose:
We care about Creation and we care about people who are living in poverty.
We celebrate the wonders of the natural world and the diversity of our brothers and sisters, both here and right across the planet.
We are really worried about the impact that the climate crisis and other environmental threats are having on our world, particularly the impact on the poor.
We are committed to promote a variety of actions and initiatives across our two Parishes, which will help us to live out our faith by caring for our common home.
Aim
We aim to be a catalyst for change, inspiring the parishioners of Bishop Eton and St Mary's to live more simply, more sustainably and in greater solidarity with the poor.
Patron
Prior to his death in April 20206 Fr Jim Casey C.Ss.R was our patron, there are no plans to replace him.

Allerton Country Walk
Liverpool City Council has created the Allerton Country Walk, which takes in much of our two Parishes.
The Walk is approximately 7 miles (2 to 3 hours) through the diverse parks, woodlands, open spaces and public footpaths of our leafy South Liverpool home.
The Walk takes in England’s Tree of the Year 2019, the Mansion House and the Neolithic Calderstones, a botanical garden, a lake, a golf course, a brand new childrens’ play area, a pub in a park, hill-top views, two walled gardens, ancient woodland and much more.
Details of the walk can be found at https://liverpool.gov.uk/media/1356369/allerton-walksb-web-version.pdf
Copyright restrictions mean that the illustrated map cannot be shown here, so we are limited to the unsophisticated version below.
For the folks who target a certain number of steps each day, this walk would require approximately 14,000 steps ….. what a great way of celebrating God’s wonderous creation!
