Welcome
From the Rev. Peter E Bristow,
Vicar, Rural Dean of New Ainsty

I am delighted to welcome you to the web site of the Church of England parish of St. Mary’s. Boston Spa is a large Georgian village on the river Wharfe, close to the A1 immediately south of Wetherby, and just within the metropolitan area of Leeds. The parish is part of an informal grouping of five parishes in the Diocese of York, known as the Lower Wharfe Group.  St. Mary’s is the largest of the five parishes and is especially known for the warmth of its welcome. Through its varied Sunday and weekday worship and large range of ministries and community activities and links it seeks to provide a firm spiritual foundation in the Christian faith. We have our own church school and a number of organizations for our younger members.  In addition to this site we produce a weekly newsletter and a monthly magazine.

* CONGRATULATIONS to all who contributed to the success of Christian Aid Week, to those who gave, those who collected door to door, and those who gave so much of their time to organise and run some of the other events that took place that week. Door to door collections raised £3,202.92, an increase of over £440 on last year’s total, coffee mornings in Clifford Village Hall and Boston Spa Methodist Church raised a further £192 and St. Mary’s C of E Primary School raised £201.10 by holding a non-uniform day. Thanks to those who attended the Churches Together Christian Aid Service in Boston Spa Village Hall a further £638.87 was raised, bringing the grand total for Boston Spa and Clifford to £4234.89, a magnificent result and an increase of £1130.23 over last year’s total!  These figures are provisional since there are still some “late comers” to be received, and do not take into account the many donations that were gift-aided.
