We are an vibrant, Inclusive, Progressive Catholic Community, welcoming ALL God's children. We are an Inclusive Catholic church in God`s own county of Yorkshire. Our mission is to welcome all people, share the beauty of being Catholic, of being inclusive, and to bring Christ`s love to people`s lives. Christ the Good Shepherd was launched on Easter Sunday 2022 after formerly being known as Our Lady
of Walsingham Mission for 7 years. We are an affirming, independent, catholic community. We come from all walks of life, We are married, single, LGBTQ+, partnered, and widowed. We are racially, politically, and ethnically diverse. But we are one body in Jesus Christ and unified by the Holy Eucharist. We don't just live the Gospel. We grow together, seek Christ together, and strive to fully engage in the life of the Church and our global family which is the Progressive Catholic Church. Our church is not confined to buildings we bring the church to you!; our church is in the hearts of the faithful and fully alive!

The Progressive Catholic Church
The Progressive Catholic Church (PCC) is a vibrant Catholic Jurisdiction. Our Synod of Bishops gently guides the Church modeling their ministry on that of Christ who washed the feet of His disciples. Serving the People of God is our heart and soul. We are a Conciliar Church, that is we are governed by our Council of Bishops, chaired by our Presiding Bishop. Though our Apostolic Succession flows from the Old Catholic Movement of Utrecht, Holland, The Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Progressive Catholic Church (PCC) is a Vatican II Church, welcoming, accepting, and embracing, seeking to provide a place where all people may come to celebrate the truth of the Gospel as proclaimed through our Catholic Faith for today. The PCC is a member of the International Council of Community Churches and an affiliate of the World Council of the Churches in Geneva, Switzerland.

We are represented in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Latin America, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. We are “Progressive” in that we are an inclusive Church, barring no one from full participation in every aspect of the Church body including Ordination to the Priesthood and our Religious Orders. In every other way, we share all things in common, including valid Episcopacy through unquestioned lines of Apostolic Succession, Priesthood, and Sacraments with the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church throughout the world.
