WELCOME
This website is currently developing as our four parishes develop their new relationship and partnership.
Our four parishes strive to serve God and his people in the Tyne and Derwent Valleys. We believe that our faith can help to make us better people, caring for others while on our journey to our heavenly home. We respect and keep safe all who come to join us, what ever their circumstances. As the Catholic Church, we welcome everyone, inspired by the words of Pope Francis in his encyclical Fratelli Tutti:
Of the counsels (St) Francis offered, I would like to select the one in which he calls for a love that transcends the barriers of geography and distance, and declares blessed all those who love their brother “as much when he is far away from him as when he is with him”. In his simple and direct way, Saint Francis expressed the essence of a fraternal openness that allows us to acknowledge, appreciate and love each person, regardless of physical proximity, regardless of where he or she was born or lives.”

Gateshead Residents' Survey 2025
The Residents Survey is a chance for you to have your say about where you live and the services provided by the Council. The survey will help us to shape our services and identify areas where we need to improve. Every response helps us gain an important picture of what matters to you.
The survey is completely anonymous unless you choose to provide your contact details so that we can notify you when the results of the survey are available.
At the end of the survey you can enter our free PRIZE DRAW with a chance to win a 64GB Lenovo Android Tablet, one of two £60 Metrocentre Gift Cards, or one of three £20 Vue Cinema Gift Cards.

In our Diocese, we’ll be reflecting on our initial Diocesan Vision during the Jubilee Year. There will be lots of resources for parishes, clergy, religious, laypeople, educators and more, both on the Jubilee Year and on our Diocesan Vision. It’s a vital year in the Church’s life.
There’s more information about the Jubilee Year on the Diocesan website HERE.
