We’re delighted to invite you to encounter the beauty of the Catholic faith and the joy of the Lord in this historically and faithfully rich city. Join us for Mass, events, and more.
If you aren’t sure how to read the Bible or it seems confusing, come along to the Upper Room at the Oratory, on Tuesday at 1pm (we also hold sessions on Monday at 7:30pm). Fr Daniel will read and explain a few chapters of the scriptures with opportunities to ask questions. Tea and coffee will be available and you can bring your lunch.
Mass is celebrated in the Shrine every Saturday at 10am. Mass is followed by prayers in honour of the York Martyrs.
The peal of ten bells in the Oratory Tower is rung by an experienced and enthusiastic band of volunteers. They ensure that the faithful are called to worship at the 10:30am and 12 noon Masses every Sunday and come together when weddings are proclaimed and significant civic and national events are celebrated.
The York Oratory is a place of prayer, a source of good preaching, a community of welcome and the beating heart of sacramental life in York.
