HARVEST FESTIVAL AT ST AIDAN’S 2021: A beautiful Harvest festival was celebrated at St Aidan’s 11am Mass on Sunday 3rd October. Show More...It was a real joy to share together such an uplifting day of prayer, song and friendship. There was a wealth of autumn colour with flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables and even some ‘visitors’ from a local farm! Mass was followed by a delicious freshly cooked Harvest Lunch presented by four of our wonderful ladies who had worked tirelessly to give us all a special day to remember. This was our first social occasion since the beginning of covid and raised so many spirits. We pray now that, God willing, it will be the first of many. ~text and images courtesy of Janet Cook....Show Less

THE SYNODAL PROCESS For those interested in finding out more about this process, a good starting point is to read ONE Diocese. Fr Martin’s introductory paper published on the DIOCESE OF LEEDS website:
From Parish to Mission

FACEMASK POLICY AT MASS in compliance with Fr Keiron's request that we maintain anti-Covid measures, please continue to wear masks when attending Mass. This helps people who may be more vulnerable to Covid-19 or to its effects to continue to feel confident about their safety while attending Mass. If you don't have one, ask a steward and one will be provided.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, courage to change the things i can and wisdom to know the difference. Trusting that he will make all things right if i surrender to his will. That i may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with him forever in the next. †

ONLINE BOKING SYSTEM UPDATE In compliance with Fr Keiron's announcement concerning increasing the capacity at weekend Masses, our resident booking system developer, Reg Phipps MBCS is adding a number of additional benches to the seating maps for the 5.45 Vigil Mass and the 9.15 Sunday Mass at St. Walburga's and at the 11 am Mass at St. Aidan's. Additional seating will be on the benches between those currently in use and will have a capacity of 1 at St Aidan's and 2 at St. Walburga's. The numbering for these seats will be congruent with that of the currently available bench immediately in front, thus creating 2 B benches, 2 C benches etc but with benches numbered 5,6,7,8 with only bench 5 and bench 8 available for booking on each second lettered bench. More information will be available on the Parish website and on the Parish FaceBook page. These additional benches will be available for booking from Monday 2 August for the Masses on the weekend of the 7/8 of August.
