40ᵗʰ anniversary book

The 22ⁿᵈ December 2024 represents 40 years since the church of St Joseph the Worker, Sherburn in Elmet, was blessed and opened by The Rt Rev William Gordon Wheeler, Bishop of Leeds.

Over the past few months, Chris Whitwood has been interviewing parishioners, collecting photos, gathering memories and trawling through parish archives to put together a book to celebrate the 40ᵗʰ 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.

Thank you to everyone who has helped with the creation of this book.
