Worshippers leave their candles before the crib after midnight mass.

The crib remains as a place of public veneration until the feast of Candlemass, on 2/2. You are welcome to come into church during this time & light a candle before the infant Lord.

Welcome to the Parish of St Peter and St Leonard, Horbury, with St John, Horbury Bridge. We are a vibrant and living Christian community, part of the newly-formed Church of England Diocese of Leeds.

At the heart of our parish is the worship of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We express this in our daily life, which revolves around the recitation of the Daily Office (Morning and Evening Prayer) and the celebration of the Mass (Eucharist or Holy Communion). Our main Sunday services are at 9am at St John’s and 10.30am at St Peter’s, and we would love to see you there!

We seek to serve the people of Horbury with Horbury Bridge by welcoming children and adults into the Christian faith by baptism, blessing marriages, nurturing children in the faith, caring for those in particular need through our various groups and ministries, and burying the dead in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life.

We do this because of our belief that Jesus Christ is ‘The Way, the Truth and the Life’, and that our lives are best lived in a relationship with him through his church. Once you’ve had a look through these pages, why not drop in to one of our services or come to one of our activities or events. We look forward to getting to know you!
