A Roman Catholic parish in the Diocese of Leeds, serving Shipley, Baildon and the surrounding area.
In 2009 the parish of St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross was established, incorporating the former parishes of St Mary and St Walburga, Shipley, and St Aidan, Baildon. The two parish churches continue to serve their communities under one parish priest, Father Keiron Walker, who is located at St Walburga's Presbytery. As part of the same reorganisation, St Anthony's church in Windhill was closed.
