About the charity

The Community of the Resurrection is a religious community based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. Our members live a corporate life within the Anglican monastic tradition, the heart of which is worship.

Many people from near and far come in a constant stream to Mirfield for spiritual refreshment, experience of monastic life and worship and for Christian education and formation. Sometimes we can hardly cope with the numbers. We find ourselves offering space and resources for women and men who seek encouragement, stillness and space to pray in the midst of stressful lives. At the heart of it all, our church is our place of worship and home for many other events. It is now in need of major refurbishment: structural repairs, a new heating system, rewiring, new lighting and sound systems, a new floor, redecoration and much-needed disabled access. If all our activities here are to flourish, we need a church able to meet the needs of today. We need your help to safeguard what makes this place special and to create a church that can serve and sustain its many users for another century.

The patrons of the Centenary Church Appeal are the Archbishop of Canterbury and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

We also undertake charitable work at home and abroad especially in Zimbabwe and South Africa. In Zimbabwe we support a number of projects including an orphanage where it is aiming to provide a borehole.
