About Us

We are a large and growing family of Christians, seeking to deepen our faith, engage with our community and worship our Lord “in the beauty of holiness” (Psalm 96. 9).

See News and Notices for our latest pew sheet, and find us on Facebook and Instagram for more news and photos of our life together.

We now broadcast our Sunday High Mass live on YouTube for all who would like to join us online.  Our latest High Mass is linked below.

Our regular service pattern is as follows:

Sundays
8.00 am Low Mass (BCP Holy Communion on the first Sunday of the month)
9.15 am Family Service
10.45 am High Mass
6.30 pm Choral Evensong

Weekdays
Monday to Friday - 9.00 am Morning Prayer
Tuesdays - 6.00 pm Contemplative Mass
Thursdays - 11.00 am Low Mass

Our worship since the foundation of the church in 1879 has been firmly rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition and we celebrate that today with full choral services with our excellent choir and organist, vestments, incense, plainchant and ritual.  You will find here a colourful, living expression of the ancient worship of the Church.  Mystery, beauty and symbolism are all important parts of our worship but we seek to create a space in which all may encounter the Lord just as they are.  We hope that whether it is your first time in church or you have been worshipping for decades, you may come closer to God and deepen your relationship with him here.  We would love to see you soon.  All are welcome.

Like all churches we rely on the generosity of our congregation and visitors to fund our ministry to the people of Ilkley and beyond.  If you are able to make a donation to support our work, we would be most grateful.   Please donate here.
