From 1931 Mass was said on alternate Sundays at Blantons’ teashop in Codsall. Initially the Mass centre was served from St Mary and St John in Wolverhampton but in 1932 it became the responsibility of the Tettenhall clergy. A church was opened in 1934 and was financed by Louis Connolly, a wines and spirits merchant, in memory of his wife Henrietta.
In 1961 St Christopher’s became a parish church. In 1964 it was extended with a baptistery, sacristy and extra seating capacity. A decision to build a new church was taken in 1999 and the old one was demolished. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 11 February 2000 and the church was opened in August the same year.
On 17th October 2010, the church was consecrated by Bishop David McGough.
