A Message From the Vicar of Pontefract
Welcome to St Giles’ with St Mary’s, Pontefract.
St Giles’ is an open and welcoming church ‘at the heart of the town’. Located in Pontefract Town Centre, we are a hive of activity, with a wide variety of events taking place throughout the week. Yet our beautiful church building also provides a peaceful space for prayer and reflection, open to all.
We are a friendly and faithful community, gathering regularly for worship.
We look forward to welcoming you, as you join us in your church.
