- Saint Chad's is a church with an eclectic congregation
set in a parish which has a predominantly Muslim population.
Worship is Traditional Anglo-Catholic in nature - we use the English
Missal at most Masses.
- We have
a branch of The Mother's Union
which meets once a month.
- St Chad's is home to the Ward of
Saint Faith of the Confraternity
of the Blessed Sacrament. Our principal activity is the monthly Holy
Hour when we spend time in prayerful contemplation before the Blessed
Sacrament.
- Our
concern for the sick in body and mind is expressed in our membership of
the Guild of St Raphael
for the Ministry of Healing. The sick are prayed for at every service
and their needs form the special Intention of one Wednesday evening Mass
each month.
- A Cell
of the Society of the
Holy House of Our Lady of Walsingham, the Fraternity of Our Lady
of Walsingham, Saint Chad and All Saints, was inaugurated at the beginning of 2002
with Fr Crowe as its first Superior. Most members of the cell make an annual pilgrimage
to Walsingham at the end of August. A Mass of Our Lady of Walsingham is
said in Saint Chad's on one Wednesday evening
each month.

OLW).

version (in .pdf format) is available on request from The Editor.

- We hold
an annual Christingle Service in support of the The Children's Society and
are involved in house-to-house collection for Christian Aid.

Spa, near Wetherby.

regularly support Traidcraft
with a stall selling goods from "Third World" countries which have been produced at a
