In August 1965 the architects were commissioned to undertake the design and construction of a new Cathedral, on a new site in Clifton.
They immediately set up a dialogue with the church and its advisors to formulate a brief.
The Second Council of the Vatican was meeting in Rome, Italy, discussing the renewal of the Church in its relationship to the world, and the Council's decree on liturgical worship helped to focus attention at Clifton on the role of the people, with the bishop and their priests in the celebration of the Eucharist.
Architectural concept The major requirement was to provide a space where a congregation of 1000 could be grouped closely around the High Altar so that they should feel and be a part of the celebration of the Mass.
The other main requirements were for the placing of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and the Baptismal Font.
The arrangement of these three main parts of the building in relationship to the movement of people entering and leaving constitutes the design concept and determines the shape of the building.
