Welcome to Saint Oswald's 

We are now moving into a period of clergy vacancy. But - we're still here and with your help ready to build for the future. And that future is not just for us as a church family - we are here for the wider community in our Parish of Knuzden and Shadsworth now and, we hope, for a very long time into the future. Our sincere thanks to our friends and also to the clergy and others in our wider area who we know are with us supporting us in prayer and various helpful ways. 

Our Services at 10 am will continue as normal with the Rev Canon Andrew Horsfall, Canon Michael Ratcliffe and others leading our worship. 

We look forward to receiving your support and welcoming to one of our services. 

We continue to keep you in our prayers and if you need anything or would like us to pray for anyone in particular please don't hesitate to contact us either via our facebook pages, email [email protected] or leave a message on 01254 698321 or in an emergency please call Rev Canon Andrew  Horsfall on 01254 732354 – this is the number for the Chaplaincy Office at Blackburn Hospital.

The parish of Knuzden: St Oswald is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Blackburn’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
