Sunday Low Mass

Every Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Last Sunday at for 30 mins
St Margaret's, Ilkley
Queens Road Ilkley, LS29 9QL, United Kingdom

'Low Mass' means a simple, said Eucharist - the blessing and sharing of bread and wine together. This service lasts around 25 minutes and includes readings from the Bible, prayers, a short talk from the priest, and ends with us receiving communion together. It is peaceful and reflective. On the first Sunday of the month the words of the service come from the Book of Common Prayer: the traditional, 'old language' prayer book from the year 1662.

St Margaret's, Ilkley

Welcome to our church website which we hope will give you a sense of our life together here at St Margaret’s. We would love to welcome you into church for a service or a visit. 

We are a parish church on the edge of Ilkley Moor, in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. What does that mean? That we are part of the Church of England, but also part of the world-wide Church ('catholic' means 'universal'). So the Eucharist, also known as the Mass, is absolutely central to our life. Some parts of the way we worship God together are thousands of years old, from the earliest days of Christianity and before, and very beautiful and mysterious - and we believe that it is life-changing. All people, of all ages, are welcome to come and experience this with us, and we have lots of different services to help everyone enter into the presence of God.

Please visit our About Us page if you'd like to find out more.

See below for our latest notice sheet, and find us on Facebook and Instagram for more news and photos of our life together.

We broadcast our Sunday High Mass live on YouTube for all who would like to join us online.
