WELCOME to Banbury Catholic Churches

This is the online home for the two Catholic Parishes in Banbury: Saint John the Evangelist and Saint Joseph the Worker, including the church of St Thomas, Wroxton.
We are also very proud of our Catholic schools which provide a nurturing environment for our children and young people. We have St John's and St Joseph's primary schools, and Blessed George Napier secondary school. We encourage people to support our schools. |

Below are the Our Father and Hail Mary prayed in the Ukrainian language. |
Holy and Gracious God,
We pray for the people of the Ukraine and the people of Russia; for their countries and their leaders. We pray for all those who are afraid; that your everlasting arms hold them in this time of great fear. We pray for all those who have the power over life and death; that they will choose for all people life, and life in all its fullness. We pray for those who choose war; that they will remember that you direct your people to turn our swords into ploughshares and seek for peace. We pray for leaders on the world stage; that they are inspired by the wisdom and courage of Christ. Above all, Lord, today we pray for peace for Ukraine. And we ask this in the name of your blessed Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord. Lord have mercy. Amen |
