Our mission

St.Wilfrid’s is the Church of England ( i.e. “Anglican,” or “Episcopalian”) Parish Church for Northenden, a district in the Wythenshawe area of south Manchester, UK.
Our aim is to honour God as we worship him, using both traditional and modern C of E forms of service; to share the good news of what Jesus Christ taught about life, God, and our relationship with him, and what he achieved for us through his death and resurrection; to offer support, spiritual or practical, to people in times of need or crisis, and in the normal routine and adventure of living; to encourage people to serve God in and through their daily lives, whether in their church activities, or in their “normal” life in work, family and community; to help people grasp more clearly the Christian understanding of life, the world and everything, through discussion and teaching.

Christians have been worshipping on the site of St. Wilfrid’s Parish Church for almost 1000 years and the present historic and beautiful building remains the focus for an active congregation in the 21st Century.

Prayer for the month

Lord of all your good creation, of its past and its future;

May we know your presence and support, your forgiveness and guidance in the coming year;

May we enjoy your goodness and generosity, and show our gratitude by living out those qualities ourselves;

May we see your wisdom and patience, your restraint and humility, reflected in the policies and practices of princes and presidents;

So bear us through the storms and calms of this new year in the knowledge of your love and grace,

And may we continue to honour you in our lives and our worship; for your name and glory’s sake

Amen.
