Our Centenary

The parish celebrated its centenary in July 2005. One of the highlights of the week-long series of events was a procession through the streets of Normanton. Along the way we were joined by our fellow Christians from the Anglican, Methodist and Baptist communities.

The Bishop of Leeds, the Right Reverend Arthur Roche, led Canon Maguire and his fellow priests in the concelebration of the Mass on Sunday 24 June 2005 - the feast day of our patron saint.

On Sunday 3 July - the closest day to the anniversary itself - the morning Mass was followed by a procession around the town. As we wound our way past the Methodist, Anglican and Baptist churches we were greeted - and joined - by our fellow Christians before making our way back to the church hall for our social event.
