Looking Ahead - Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes

Friday 3rd to Thursday 9th July 2026

We are looking at taking a group from St Robert's to join the Leeds Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes from Friday 3rd July to Thursday 6th July, flying from Leeds/Bradford and with the intention of staying at the Hotel Solitude. 


If you are interested in attending, please contact Caroline in the parish office to register your interest without any commitment at this stage.  This will help us estimate how many rooms we would need if we are to make a block booking and keep the parish group together.  It would also help if you could indicate your preference for a single, twin or double room and if you could register your interest by 3rd November.  Again, doing so will not commit you to going. 


When the pilgrimage details are released, parishioners will then be able to book directly with Tangney Tours, indicating they are part of the St Robert's group. 


Unfortunately, as everywhere else, costs have risen in recent years and its estimated that the final cost will be around £1100 per person plus a supplement for single rooms. However, the Solitude is a premium hotel which comes well recommended by those who have been on pilgrimage recently and the cost does include flights and full board. To contact the parish office please call 01423 504988 or email office.strobert@dioceseofleeds.org.uk

Apologia

13 October 2025
A group of parishioners gathered last month for the first session of 'Apologia' - a series designed to help us discover more about various aspects of our Catholic faith.

November is traditionally a month for remembrance, and particularly All Souls' Day, which, this year, is translated to Monday 3rd November (Sunday 2nd November is the celebration of All Saints' Day).

Parish Photo Directory

25 September 2025
Two years ago we published a parish photo directory. It seems appropriate, now, to update it. Parishioners who would like to be part of this project by having their photos taken and published in the directory will be able to have their picture taken in the Lady Chapel after most Sunday Masses over the coming weeks.

Adoration - 1st Saturday of the month, 4pm-4.50pm

24 September 2025
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament takes place on the first Saturday of each month from 4-4.50pm - an opportunity to spend some time with the Lord and, perhaps, to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation which is offered at the same time before the 5pm Mass. Next Saturday adoration is on 1st November.

Bible Study: Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance

19 September 2025
The study will be Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance. Ephesians was one of the most widely circulated of St. Paul’s writings because of its powerful, practical instructions for disciples of Christ. This study examines many important themes that are still relevant in today’s Christian culture and society—the nature of marriage, the purpose and role of the Church, the pre-eminence of grace in God’s plan, and the reality of spiritual warfare. Thank you to everyone who has signed up to join the Bible Study class, which is now full.

International Mass

8 September 2025
An International Mass and Luncheon, celebrating our diverse parish community took place at 11am on on Sunday, 5th October. Parishioners represented their national heritage with a procession of gifts in the Mass and a selection of food from different nations in the parish centre afterwards. Thank you to Marie and her t

Thank you to Marie and her team and all the young people who took part in the Children's Holiday Bible Camp this year. The focus on the Mass produced a great deal of fruit.
