Welcome to the Parish of the St. John the Baptist


The Parish of St. John the Baptist, Normanton, has a long and noble history and one which inspires pride and gratitude in it’s parishioners.
It is a parish community rooted in the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Seven Sacraments and the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With the Lord Jesus Christ at the centre of our Church and Community we strive to share Him and His Good News with others in the great variety of our vocations. We often fail to live out the call given to us in Holy Baptism, but failure is never problem to the Lord Who can do extraordinary things with the most ordinary of people and situations. We are sinners, but more importantly we are forgiven sinners and this truth brings joy and peace. 

The Lord came that we may ‘have life and have it to the full’ and that life is strengthened and sustained by His Grace given so freely in the Sacraments and family of the Church.

The downloadable booklet of the Mercy Stations contain pictures of the Stations of the Cross in St John's Church. The Stations of the Cross is an ancient and beautiful way of praying throughout the year but particularly on Fridays and throughout the great season of Lent.

Having the sad task of planning a Funeral is never easy and can seem daunting. The documents (also at 'Prayer and Devotions' on this website) are intended to help. However, please do not hesitate to contact your priest who will help and guide you in the process. The first document is an A3 (4 x A4 sheets) printable document and is intended to as a help and guide to making clear your own wishes for your own funeral. It should be completed and retained with your important documents and Will or given to your family. The idea is to make things easier for your family to know your wishes concerning your funeral. Some people think that it is morbid to plan such things, however, a little planning can be a great help to those left behind.

Pray for Peace
By Fr M 19 Nov, 2021
He has made us as part of His wonderful creation, we are to be the stewards of it. Our ever increasing brutality and arrogance spoils not only our own environment but that of other species and parts of His creation. Creation is not an accident it is by design and for purpose. There is brutality and death throughout creation, but there is also incredible beauty, joy and innocence. If we can watch this and not smile then we are surely lost - to ourselves and our God.
