Christ Church, Staincliffe

Welcome to the United Benefice of Christ Church, Staincliffe and St John the Evangelist, Carlinghow. We are a vibrant community of Christians in Batley, West Yorkshire, dedicated to spiritual growth, fellowship, and the service of God.

Tradition and Pastoral Care

​Situated within the Diocese of Leeds, we are affiliated with The Society and are under the episcopal oversight of the Bishop of Beverley. Our parish is further supported by a Priest of the Society of the Holy Cross (SSC), ensuring dedicated pastoral care and a steadfast commitment to the Catholic tradition within the Church of England.

​Our Liturgical Life

​Our worship is centred on the daily celebration of the Mass. We embrace a traditional "High Church" liturgy, designed to engage the senses and lift the soul through:

​Sacred Ceremony: The use of beautiful vestments, incense, and bells to create a truly prayerful atmosphere.


​Musical Heritage: A devotion to traditional hymns and the timeless practice of plainchant.

​

The Communion of Saints: A deep-rooted devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints, honouring their place in our spiritual journey.


​An Open Invitation

​Our doors are open to everyone, regardless of where you are on your journey of faith. We believe in a warm welcome for all and encourage you to join us for our services and community events.​
