This is an exciting opportunity to grow the Parish Church of All Saints Castleford in discipleship, mission and numbers. The Parish of Castleford has been formed in the last decade, and three smaller churches in the town have been closed, with the congregations joining together at All Saints. The PCC and congregation are now eager to work with a new Rector to develop their mission in Castleford in this new season. We're looking for a priest from the Modern Catholic tradition, who is enthusiastic, creative and willing to develop new opportunities for engagement with the town. In return we offer you a supportive PCC, enthusiastic group of lay volunteers, and a comfortable, modern family home.
