History
The parish was founded by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) in 1932 in an area previously included in the OMI parish of Mount St. Mary's. The present church was designed by Reynolds and Scott, and opened by Bishop Dwyer in July 1962. In 2008, the OMIs transferred responsibility for the parish to the Bishop of Leeds.
Diocese of Leeds
The Diocese of Leeds comprises the whole of West Yorkshire (with the exception of the parish of Todmorden) together with parishes in the East Riding, North Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Our Bishop is Bishop Marcus Stock. His appointment to the See of Leeds by Pope Francis was announced by the Vatican on Monday 15th September 2014, and he was ordained Bishop and installed as the tenth Bishop of Leeds on Thursday, 13th November 2014.
