_{“I believe in the sacraments which the Catholic Church believes and venerates, and expressly that what is consecrated on the altar is the true body, true flesh and true blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which we receive for the remission of our sins and for the hope of eternal salvation. I believe in the resurrection of the flesh and in life everlasting. Amen.”
-From St. Bruno’s Profession of Faith, 1101}

The Parish of Christ the King, Newcastle, is a Roman Catholic parish serving the people of Heaton, Byker and Walker, in the East End of Newcastle. As part of the Diocese of Hexham & Newcastle, we are in communion with Bishop Stephen Wright and the Catholic Bishops of the world and strive to be faithful to our inheritance—the deposit of faith preached through the ages—the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Parish is a pillar of faith and community. Our churches have a rich history of serving the spiritual and social needs of our communities, while also fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. From humble beginnings to thriving communities, our parish continues to be a place of worship, support, and community engagement for all. This is because both the parish is both our home and our mission-field. The Gospel is our seed. We strive to serve all those who live in close proximity as well as those who come from a distance to find abundant life through the Sacraments, reverent liturgy, sound Catholic teaching, authentic community and openness to those in need.

Our unifying standard is the glorious Cross of Christ, the instrument of the salvation of the world. We seek to stand beneath the Cross as Mary did on that Friday called Good, steadfast in faith. As the world spins, the Cross stands firm. Under the patronage of Christ the King we are reminded that Jesus is the king of our hearts, our lives, and our community. We also claim as our patrons St. Teresa of the Infant Jesus, St Lawrence and St Anthony of Padua. Our patron saints remind each one of us that a life of holiness is possible in today's modern world. They help and inspire us through their example to live good, holy, and charitable lives, just like they did as they were making their own pilgrimage through life on earth.
