The Society of the Holy Cross (or SSC from the Latin Societas Sanctae Crucis) was founded on this day in 1855 by Fr Charles Lowder and a group of 5 other priests to be a congregation of priests, who live and minister under a common Rule of Life, committed to witnessing to the Cross of Christ by their lives and ministry.Fr Lowder intended that these priests would come together for support, mutual prayer and encouragement.We pray for all Bishops and Priests of The Society of the Holy Cross. We should gloryin the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,for he is our salvation,our life and our resurrection,through him we are saved and made free.Father,your Son showed the depth of his lovewhen for our sake,he opened his arms on the Cross;and he has commanded usto love one another.Keep the brothers of the Society of the Holy Cross united in love and in faith.Through the saving power of the Cross,impressed inwardly upon their livesand revealed outwardly in their work,may others come to knowyour love and truth;through Christ our Lord.Amen. ...

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!
