The church is a Grade II listed building with an interesting and unusual history, having been built originally as an Anglican church. The pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows in the church were designed mainly by Edward Burne-Jones, with contributions from Ford Madox Brown and William Morris and constitute one of the best collections of stained-glass from the William Morris Company in the North of England.

Our parish celebrated the start of its centenary year with Mass on Saturday 28 January – exactly one hundred years to the day since the first Mass was celebrated in the building, find out more ...
Following the celebrations of Holy Week and the Triduum, the parish gathered in the hall to continue the festivities in true Sacred Heart manner. Led by our MC, Gareth Pritchard, the Easter egg hunt, Easter Bonnet parade and egg jarping were enjoyed by determined, competitive parishioners of all ages. This year’s hotly contested jarping competition was won by Laura McLeod. The secret of her success remains just that. In common with a long line of winners, Laura refused to divulge either her secret recipe or tactics. As ever, thanks are due to Gareth and the whole family for the work which they put into this event.
The Sacred Heart church is located in North Newcastle, near to Brunton
Park, Wideopen, Hazelrigg and Newcastle Great Park.
