Sunday Masses in Stokesley

 

I am delighted to announce that, starting on 5th December, there will be a Latin Mass every Sunday at 3pm at the Church of St Joseph in Stokesley.  The celebrant will be the parish priest, Fr William Charlton.

The Church of St Joseph was designed by the Yorkshire architect, George Goldie, and opened in 1873.

Although a relatively modest church, the internal features were very fine.  Unfortunately, the church was devastated by a fire in the 1970s which destroyed the roof and much else.  Although the roof was rebuilt, many of the internal features were lost.  In a subsequent reordering scheme, further damage was done, including the installation of an altar in a new position at one side of the nave.

More recently, Fr Charlton has restored the altar to the original sanctuary.

Please support this Mass.
