4-11 May 2008
Programme
A special week of prayer and worship in Wetherby is to be led by one of the most sought after speakers in the country. For more information see the press release.

Welcome to our website, and thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you will find it useful.  If it does not contain the information you need please do not hesitate to telephone or call us.

St. Joseph's was founded in 1872. The old Church was opened in 1882 and the present Church, designed by the well known Architect, Mr. Vincent Stienlet, was opened in 1986. The art work is by the internationally known artist Fenwick Lawson. It is a delightful Church and well worth a visit. It won the Leeds award for Architecture in 1987, you will find the Church open between 8.00am and 3.30pm. All are welcome.

There are two chapels of ease, one at Sicklinghall and the other at Bardsey. I am very grateful to Fr. John Murphy OMI and Fr. Barrie Holmes who faithfully serve these communities. We are also fortunate to have the support of our Deacon, Dugald Macdougall.

We are blessed with the prayers of the Sisters in the two convents, The Carmelite Convent at Wood Hall and the Holy Family Convent in Sicklinghall.  Youth 2000 are a blessing in our midst.

We are particularly blessed in our two outstanding schools, St. Joseph's Wetherby and St. John Fisher, Harrogate.
You will find a list of all Parish Organisations on the Website.  If there is a particular area that is not covered, we are always open to new ideas and new offers of help.

Our Parish has a commitment to Christian Unity and to the less fortunate at home and abroad.  We support 50 orphans in the parish of Katangi in Kenya.
