A simpler and shorter celebration of Holy Communion is held daily, except on Fridays (unless it is a Solemnity or High Day). The weekday Masses are divided between the two parishes.

- On Mondays and Wednesdays, Mass is celebrated at Staincliffe.
- On Tuesdays at 7 PM and Thursdays at 12 noon, Mass takes place at Carlinghow.
- Saturday Mass alternates between both churches.

Please get in touch or check the notice sheet for more information.

We are two parishes but one community, and we alternate Sunday Mass between Christ Church Stancliffe and St. John's the Evangelist in Carlinghow. Please feel free to get in touch or check the notice sheet to see which church is hosting each Sunday.

The Solemn Mass on Sunday is family-friendly, accessible, and we welcome everyone to join us in worshipping God in the beauty of holiness.

The Parish Mass is traditional and Catholic, featuring high ceremonial elements such as incense, bells, and plain chant, alongside beautiful vestments. It includes a homily/sermon, prayers, and scriptural readings, with the climax of the service being the celebration and administration of Holy Communion. The service concludes with the Angelus (or Regina Coeli during Easter) and is followed by refreshments and delicious biscuits!
