One notable son of Slane was Father (later Canon) Patrick Maken, the driving force behind the building of St Vincent’s Church in Kingston upon Hull Fr Macken had been Parish Priest in Loftus since 1916 and when appointed to St Vincent’s parish the building of the new church was his acclaimed priority. He was said to be “tall, well built and handsome, with the gait and carriage of a guardsman.” He was noted, in those non ecumenical times, for his friendship and cooperative working with the vicar of St Augustine’s (Cof E) parish church, which stood next door. Fr Macken lived up to his promise as a great fundraiser and held the first Christmas Bazaar, which raised over £300, a fortune in those days. Despite the depression, he confidently set about building the present church, modelling it on the Romanesque Church of the English Martyrs in York. There was some discussion over the campanile, which many saw as an extravagance, but Fr Macken held sway, and, on Sunday May 1st 1932, the foundation stone was laid. The church was designed to hold 350 people and the agreed cost was £9,000.. Fr Macken took a keen personal interest in the building work and was often referred to as “the keenest clerk of works” on the job. At that time the people of Hull were building a new memorial at the scene of the battle of Oppy Wood, where so many of their sons had fallen in the Great War. Fr Macken was able to obtain the original crucifix for his new church. The new church was opened with a candle lit procession on the evening of 27th March, 1933 and on St Georges day two parishioners, Gerard Collingwood and Austin Pippet, were ordained in the new church by Bishop Shine. The campanile may have been a dubious choice because, during the first summer after the church was opened, it began to lean to the East, reaching the stage where it was a full six inches (15cm) out of plumb. Work was begun to pile and under pin the campanile, bringing it back to perpendicular, where it has remained ever since. The Campanile is now illuminated on dark nights, a worthy successor to St Patrick’s fire on the Hill of Slane. Fr Macken was a not just a great fundraiser but was also known as a devoted priest, a motivator and a man whose all round people skills led to his co-option to the Hull Education Committee. He was made a canon in 1935 but later that year his health began to suffer. As he recovered, he took a convalescence to his family home in Slane, Co Meath, where he suddenly took a turn for the worse and died, aged 52. There is a video tour of St Vincent’s at kzread.info/dash/bejne/f5ifwbuSgdSwfc4.html .
