Parish Prayer

Come, Holy Spirit! 

Give us the grace today to rise up, to open wide the doors, to go out of ourselves so as to draw others to Christ, to be disciples and to make disciples, that we may walk in your ways joyfully and build up Your Church across West Cumbria. We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Serving the areas of Workington, Harrington and neighbouring villages – The parish of Christ the Good Shepherd, formed 2012, is made up of the Catholic churches of Our Lady Star of the Sea & St Michael’s, St Gregory’s and St Mary’s.

Saint Mary, Harrington.

St Mary’s Harrington began life as a daughter church of Our Lady & St Michael around 1872. At that time Harrington was growing rapidly and there was need for a new parish. St Mary’s became a parish in its own right in 1884 and the present church was built in 1892. The parish was served first by monks from Ampleforth and later from Belmont Abbey. In 2001 Belmont Abbey handed over the parish to the Diocese of Lancaster.
