Sunday 22 December 2024 represented forty years since the church of St Joseph the Worker at Sherburn-in-Elmet was blessed and opened by The Rt Rev William Gordon Wheeler, Bishop of Leeds.
During 2024 parishioner Chris Whitwood interviewed fellow parishioners, former parish clergy and set about collecting photos, gathering memories and trawling through parish and diocesan archives to put together a book to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the opening of the Church of St Joseph the Worker.
What started out as a short timeline of the parish has grown into a history that aims to capture some of the wonderful stories that parishioners have shared.
The book is entitled Living Stones and is illustrated throughout. It will be of interest to anyone with a connection, past or present, to the parish at Sherburn-in-Elmet.
