History of St Peter's Catholic Church
It is a prominent Roman Catholic church that has served the local community for more than a century.
Its origins date back to 1871, when a school and chapel were established to meet the spiritual needs of the growing Catholic population in the Laisterdyke area.
Initially administered from St Mary’s Church in Bradford, St Peter’s developed steadily and became an independent parish in 1921.
The present church building was opened in 1933. It was built to accommodate around 700 worshippers.
Regular masses, prayer groups and parish events are held at the church.
