The RC church of the Sacred Heart, North Gosforth 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.
Parish priest: Father Jim Dunne Deacon: John Hawthorne
Parish Adult Education Course
Starts Thursday September 23rd, 7.15-8.15pm, and runs for several weeks. The theme is Mysteries of Life - Christ's & Mine, and deals with the main events in Jesus public life - topics in the five new Mysteries of Light in the Rosary. We hope it will be good mix of devotion & serious thought. Refreshments will be served after each session in the Parish Hall.
Centenary of our Parish
2012
marks the centenary of our parish. It was in 1912 that Bishop Collins
bought the building from the Gosforth Park Estate. We want to celebrate
this year with you, and are asking for ideas on how best to mark this
anniversary.
