Welcome to the Parish of Baildon

Welcome to the Church of England in Baildon. We have three churches, St John’s Parish Church, St James’s and St Hugh’s. Our Churches are a witness to God’s love in this community as we meet together for prayer and worship every Sunday and serve this community in all sorts of ways. You will find a warm welcome at any of our churches and we are always here for you.

A Prayer for the Passing of Pope Francis

Eternal and merciful God,
In your divine wisdom, you have called home your servant, Pope Francis.
We thank you for the life he lived in service to you and to your Church
A shepherd after your own heart,
A voice for the poor, the humble, and the forgotten.
Grant him rest, O Lord, in the peace of your eternal embrace.
Reward his faith, his courage, and his deep compassion.
May the angels lead him into paradise,
May the martyrs receive him at the gates,
And may he gaze upon your face with joy and awe.
Console your Church in this time of mourning.
Strengthen our unity, deepen our faith, and guide us forward in love,
As we honour the legacy of a holy servant who walked humbly with you, through Christ our Lord, Amen
