I suggest anyone wanting to keep up to date with the Allerton Bywater story, check the Yorkshire Post site. It is a good newspaper, factual and non sensational.

Bishop Roche's pastoral letter, announcing re-organisation in Wakefield Deanery, which includes Allerton Bywater:

One parish will be established to serve the Castleford area with one priest who will reside at Saint Joseph's Castleford. The churches of Saint Edmund's, Airedale, and Saint John's, Allerton Bywater, will close. The areas of Kippax, and Swillington will be incorporated into the parish of Saint Benedict, Garforth. I have been advised that it is important for the Credit Union at Saint Edmund's to continue until the autumn and I am happy for that to be the case even though by that time the church will have closed.

The closure of St John's is the result of a consultation that went on for a long time.

Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
