Working  with the diocese, we have appointed Sophie Taylor to the post of part-time Lay Pastoral Assistant.

Until 2017 Sophie was a student at Leeds Trinity University, where she graduated with a degree in theology and a teaching certificate.

She was a key member of the diocesan youth team, which is where she met Fr Michael

Since then, she has taught RE in the north east, as well as working in her own parish there.

Sophie’s employment starts on September 1^st, but she will be at Masses on August 30^th / 31^st. 

She is currently looking for somewhere to live in Calderdale  – perhaps initially as a lodger, but ideally as a tenant of a not too expensive property.
