Churches in Whitby Parish

St Hilda

(01947) 606578

St. Hilda's has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The regular congregation of 60-80 welcomes families and children.

The church itself is late 19th century neo-gothic, and has several attractive features that were added later.

St Hilda's Priory Chapel, or the Chapel of the Order of the Holy Paraclete

Castle Road Whitby
(01947) 899560
http://www.ohpwhitby.org.uk

The Chapel of the Order of the Holy Paraclete is the private Chapel belonging to the Sisters of OHP. Guests, visitors and retreatants to OHP are welcome to join with us for the Daily Office and Eucharist.

The Order was founded in 1915, to run St Hilda's School, a boarding school for girls. Over time, the school and Order grew in number, and the work extended overseas, and has included teaching, nursing, midwifery, chaplaincy and spiritual direction. Following the closure of the school in 1997, the work for the Order has remained diverse. We currently have two houses in Ghana where Sisters work with a vocation school for the young women whose education has been interrupted and the Anglican Eye Clinic, which has recently been upgraded to Hospital status. In the UK, we are concentrated in Yorkshire and Teesside, with Sisters in York, Whitby and Redcar/Middlesbrough. Our retreat house in Sleights, St Oswald's, is about to see a new venture in conjunction with support from us and the Scargill Movement, creating a new, ecumencial community to continue the retreat work.

Our contact details are on the "get in touch" link.

Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals may take place at the Chapel. Those eligible comprise members of the Tertiary Order (lay members of the Order of the Holy Paraclete); former members of St Hilda's School ("Old Girls"); and members of the regular Sunday Congregation. In addition those who have worked at the Priory or Centre long-term may be eligible. The Chapel is not normally available to anyone else; regulations apply for anyone else wishing to be considered, details may be obtained from the Order of the Holy Paraclete.

St Mary The Virgin

Abbey Plain Whitby
(01947) 606578

St. Mary's is a church like no other.

The character of Whitby has seeped into its fabric, and it stands as a testimony to the independent maritime spirit of the town.

Each successive generation has left its mark on the original 11th century foundation.

The building is remarkable for its box pews, triple decker pulpit, and elizabethan communion table, as well as several fascinating details.

For those devoted to St. Hilda,it is a place of pilgrimage, and a warm welcome awaits you from our small but stalwart congregation.
