About St. John the Evangelist
St. John the Evangelist is a Roman Catholic church in Bradford, West Yorkshire. It is part of the Diocese of Leeds.
Introduction
St John the Evangelist's was established as a new parish in Buttershaw in 1954, formerly part of St Winefride's Parish. The church was opened in 1956. The Parishes of St Winefride's and St John's were merged in 2009 to become the Parish of Mary, Mother of God.

The parish covers a large area including Wibsey, Odsal Top, Buttershaw, Slackside, Woodside, Wyke, Low Moor, Moor Top, Oakenshaw, Shelf, Clayton Heights, Horton Bank Top and Horton Bank Bottom. The parish works with Catholic Care to provide food support, including delivering food parcels to families in need. The parish works with its two primary schools, St John's and St Winefride's, and the Catholic High School St Bede's and St Joseph's, to provide young people with a grounding in the faith.
Sacraments and pastoral care
Parents seeking baptism for their child are invited to three faith formation sessions run each quarter. Children typically receive First Confession in Year Three, First Holy Communion in Year Four, and Confirmation in Year Six, with parents invited to four faith formation sessions.
