St. Mary's Cathedral

What a beautiful and holy space. Attended Sunday morning mass here when staying in the area and was deeply moved by the sacred atmosphere as I entered the cathedral. I hope to visit again when I'm in Newcastle again and would love to spend some quiet time here in prayer and reflection. A genuinely powerful place to be close to God, whether attending Mass or just to visit. Highly recommend, whether you're a person or faith or not. It'll be good for your soul ❤️😁

Very beautiful building, you can enter times outside of worship to admire the place itself as I did. It has some history in the entrance too which was nice to read. Very calm

It's a beautiful stained glass Catholic church. I go Sunday for the beautiful mass. The choir is amazing and the time spent here can be surreal. It has a cafe , St Paul's shop and restroom.

I hadn't intended to visit this place at all today. But in passing bye, it caught my eye, and I'm very glad I went inside. The place has an interesting history being built in 1842 from funds raised by halfpenny donations from the poor Tyneside community of immigrants. It opened for worship in 1844. Whether you are religious or not, this place is a little sanctuary of peace and tranquility from the bustling city outside. Many people come here to just sit and pray in silence, others just to contemplate on life in general. The elderly volunteers that greet you are lovely. Information boards at the entrance provide a chronological history of significant events since this Church's foundation, and you can also pick up a leaflet with the plan of the interior and the key features. I give this 5 stars for the friendly volunteers and very peaceful ambiance.

The Catholic Mass was packed with attendees at 11:30, recommended.
