Nestled in the beautiful county of West Yorkshire, our church is a sacred place where all are invited to find solace, spirituality, and a sense of belonging.
A Haven of Faith and Devotion
Our Lady and All Saints Catholic Church, commonly referred to as "OLA," has been an integral part of the Otley community for several decades. The church stands as a testament to the rich Catholic heritage and the enduring faith of its parishioners. At the heart of the church is its commitment to fostering a deep connection with God and nurturing spiritual growth among its members.
Enriching Worship Experience
The church offers a range of liturgical celebrations throughout the week, with Sunday Mass being the centrepiece of our communal worship. Led by our dedicated and compassionate priests, our liturgies embrace the sacred traditions of the Catholic faith while embracing the diverse needs and preferences of our congregation. Alongside our regular Masses, we also hold special services throughout the liturgical year, bringing the faithful together to commemorate important feasts and seasons.
Vibrant Community Life
At Our Lady and All Saints, we understand that a church is more than just a place of worship; it is a community of believers who support and uplift one another. We aim to create a sense of belonging by offering various ministries, organizations, and activities for people of all ages. From youth groups and parent-child programs to Bible study groups and social outreach initiatives, there is something for everyone to get involved in and build meaningful connections.
Catholic Education and Formation
Our Lady and All Saints Church recognizes the importance of lifelong learning and spiritual growth. Through our vibrant parish school, St. Joseph's Catholic Primary, we provide a nurturing environment where children receive quality education rooted in Catholic teachings. As a foundation, this education helps them develop a strong moral compass and a deep love for their faith. We also offer programs for ongoing adult faith formation, ensuring that members of our community have opportunities to deepen their understanding of Catholic teachings and grow in their relationship with God.

As followers of Christ, we are called to be salt and light for the world. Our Lady and All Saints actively engages with the wider community in Otley and beyond, striving to make a positive impact and spread God's love. Through social outreach initiatives and partnerships with other local organizations, we seek to address the needs of the vulnerable, promote social justice, and provide assistance to those in need.
