Next in-person worship is on the 11th of May
We are an Inclusive Catholic church in God`s own county of Yorkshire. Our mission is to welcome all people, share the beauty of being Catholic, of being inclusive, and to bring Christ`s love to people`s lives.
Christ the Good Shepherd was launched on Easter Sunday 2022 after formerly being known as Our Lady of Walsingham Mission for 7 years. We are an affirming, independent, catholic community.
We come from all walks of life, We are married, single, LGBTQ+, partnered, and widowed. We are racially, politically, and ethnically diverse. But we are one body in Jesus Christ and unified by the Holy Eucharist.
We don't just live the Gospel. We grow together, seek Christ together, and strive to fully engage in the life of the Church and our global family which is the Progressive Catholic Church. Our church is based in Carlton in Lindrick, but our church is in the hearts of the faithful and fully alive!
Gracious God, You know our needs even before we ask
and heed our faltering prayers, spoken and unspoken.
Hear our voice above the murmurs of sorrow for it is the voice of confusion
seeking your still small voice of calm.
Hear our voice as we give thanks for your faithful servant
for it is the voice of praise joining with sadness and joy.
Hear our voice as we pray for the future for it is a voice of hope
longing to see your Church made whole.
Hear our voice as we watch with those who deliberate for it is the voice of humility
asking for their wisdom and discernment.
Hear our voice as we pray in solidarity with the poor
for it is the voice of peace searching for justice.
O God, hear the voice of the voiceless for it is the voice of silence
crying out from the cross through whom your Spirit may be heard
and your will be recognised.
For Jesus Christ’s sake, Amen.
