“Remembering Desmond Williams, Architect of St Michael’s Church, Wolverhampton”

We remember with gratitude the life and work of Desmond Williams, who died on 30 March 2026 at the age of 93, and who designed our church at St Michael’s.
A gifted architect of modern Catholic churches, Williams embraced the spirit of renewal following the Second Vatican Council, creating spaces that placed the congregation at the heart of worship. His vision for St Michael’s reflects this approach, fostering a sense of community, participation and shared prayer.
Our church stands as a lasting testament to his thoughtful and inspiring design, and we give thanks for the legacy he leaves to our parish community.
