By Voices of Ashbrow Newsdesk –

Huddersfield’s Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church continues to serve as a beacon of faith, inclusivity, and community spirit in the heart of Sheepridge and the Ashbrow Ward.

As part of the Parish of the Holy Redeemer, which also includes St Patrick’s in the town centre and Holy Family in Slaithwaite, the church plays a vital role in the spiritual and social life of the local area.

Situated at 85 Sheepridge Road, the church offers a welcoming environment for worshippers of all backgrounds.

Regular Sunday Mass is held at 10:30 am, while weekday service times are available through the parish bulletin.

Beyond its religious offerings, the church provides a variety of community-based activities designed to bring people together and support those in need.

Among the key activities hosted at Our Lady of Lourdes are the ‘Mature Movers’ sessions every Wednesday at 9:45 am, aimed at keeping older residents active, and a craft session later in the afternoon at 2:30 pm.

Fridays see the gathering of ‘Friday Friends’ from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm, providing a space for companionship and social interaction.

Sheepridge itself, located approximately 1.5 miles north-northeast of Huddersfield town centre, has a rich history.

The area saw significant development in the mid-20th century, particularly with the construction of large social housing estates, fostering a diverse and dynamic community.

Recognising this, Our Lady of Lourdes is committed to welcoming all individuals, extending support and solidarity to anyone in need.

With its unwavering dedication to faith and service, Our Lady of Lourdes remains a cornerstone of the Sheepridge community, offering a place of peace, unity, and hope for all.
