Welcome to our website!

We are a cluster of vibrant Roman Catholic parishes in the eastern half of the borough of North Tyneside.  Whether you are young or old, Christian or just curious, we would love you to join one of our thriving congregations!

As Catholic parishes we are dedicated to:

• Worshipping God and celebrating the Sacraments
• Growing in knowledge of our Catholic faith and sharing it with others
• Supporting each other and anyone in need

The following pages will give an overview of each of our parishes, as well as details on mass times and the many parish groups and societies that work throughout the cluster.  We hope that wherever you live in the borough – or if you are just visiting us – you will find a warm welcome in one of our churches.

As a cluster of parishes our clergy work collaboratively to minister to all seven parishes. We currently have three priests and one deacon who work tirelessly across the cluster:

Father Peter Stott   Co-ordinating Pastor

Monsignor Gerard Lavender V.G.  Co-Pastor

Father David Russell  Co-Pastor

Rev. Tom McLaughlin  Deacon
