St. Eulalia is one of two Roman Catholic parishes located in Winchester.
Saint Eulalia was born in Barcelona Spain near the end of the third century. The pagan Roman Governor Diocietianus-Maximianus seized her and brought her for trial. Under intensive interogation he gave her the option of denying that Jesus Christ was Lord or face death. This 13 year old girl was steadfast in her faith and accepted death to become Spain's first Christian Martyr. Her Martyrdom proved to be the spark which ignited the flame of Christianity that spread like wildfire throughout Spain.
St. Mary's Parish Family is the oldest Roman Catholic parish in Winchester, located near the town center. The parish is affiliated with an award-winning school for children age three through grade five. Rev. Paul Clifford, Pastor.
