The Diocese of Leeds
About the Diocese
The territory of the Leeds Diocese now covers parts of five counties; it comprises the Catholic communities in the northern part of what is now West Yorkshire together with some areas of North and East Yorkshire, e.g. Ripon, Selby and Howden – and some parishes now in Lancashire (Barnoldswick) and Greater Manchester (Uppermill).
Within the Diocese about 26,000 Catholics attend Mass on any particular Sunday and during the last year, some 2,214 children were baptised into the Church.
In addition to more than 100 churches in its parishes, there are also 93 schools, both primary and secondary, a sixth-form college, the country’s only Catholic special school for the deaf and one of only three UK universities with a modern Catholic foundation. The Diocese is presided over by the Bishop of Leeds, whose residence and administrative offices are in Headingley.
Good Shepherd Mass
We are deeply grateful to Bishop Stock for inviting us to sing at the Good Shepherd Mass at Leeds Cathedral. It was a joy and an honour to be part of such a beautiful celebration of faith and community. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us and supported the event it was truly inspiring to lift our voices together in worship within the stunning setting of the Cathedral.
