Welcome to our United Benefice

​Welcome to the United Benefice of Christ Church, Stancliffe and St John the Evangelist, Carlinghow. We are a vibrant, friendly, and social community of Christians situated in Batley, West Yorkshire, within the Diocese of Leeds.

​Our Tradition and Oversight

​As a parish committed to the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, we are affiliated with The Society and receive episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Beverley. Our community is served by a priest of the Society of the Holy Cross (SSC).

​Our Worship

​The Eucharist is at the very heart of our life together, and Mass is celebrated daily within the Benefice. Our worship is grounded in "High Church" practice, offering a sensory and prayerful experience through:

​Rich Ceremonial & Vestments: Traditional liturgy that honours the beauty of holiness.

​Sacred Music: The use of traditional hymns and the ancient beauty of plainchant.

​Incense & Bells: Elements that lift our hearts and minds toward the divine.

​Devotion: A deep and enduring reverence for the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints.

​Join Us

​Whether you are a lifelong Anglo-Catholic, a curious visitor, or someone seeking a spiritual home, everyone is welcome to join us for our services and social events.

​Contact and Life Events
