So on 30 April 1874, the foundation stone for a new Gothic revival church, St Catherine of Siena's, was laid in the Horse Fair part of the city by Bishop William Ullathorne of Birmingham.

It was located where the Holloway Circus roundabout is situated on Bristol Street, Birmingham.

[2] On 1 June 1964, the church in Horse Fair was de-consecrated by Archbishop Francis Grimshaw of Birmingham,[4] as the building was bought by the local council under a compulsory purchase order so that it could be demolished and a road system could be made in the area.

It is a circular domed building, with the altar in the centre of the church, making it compliant with the decrees of the Second Vatican Council.

[5] The parish hosts a Justice and Peace group and plays a role in the local Citizens UK organisation in Birmingham.
