Masses

Picture
Middlesbrough Diocese LGBT+ Ministry celebrates Mass with an explicit welcome to members of the LGBT+ community, their families and friends. All are welcome to the celebration of the Eucharist.

We gather at 3pm on the second Sunday of every month at the Bar Convent in York. Mass normally lasts about an hour. Our worship is enhanced by an excellent group of musicians from Our Lady's Chuch in nearby Acomb.

Venue

The Masses take place in the 'hidden chapel' at the historic Bar Convent in York, thanks to the generosity of the Sisters of the Congregation of Jesus. It is the oldest continuously operating house of a religious congregation in Britain. The Bar Convent has a long history of offering sanctuary, and began its life to support minorities suffering persecution by civil and religious authorities at the time.

Those travelling to York from a long distance might like to consider staying at The Bar Convent which has excellent B&B facilities.
​Mass is followed by the opportunity for relaxing conversations and social time in the beautiful Georgian atrium of the Bar Convent.
