Sacred Heart R C Church

This is an extremely popular Roman Catholic church serving North Gosforth, Wideopen and Hazlerigg communities. On a Sunday morning, you will find it very difficult to get a parking space here, although the church itself has a car park and there is local on street parking. The church, in general, has a better atmosphere than St Charles’ catholic church in the centre of Gosforth, although it has deteriorated slightly since the death of the late priest, who was much loved in the community. The church still has a good social scene though with a choir and a theatre group who do yearly pantomimes. There are often organised activities for the parish community including walks and other social events. the church itself is particularly attractive inside and is a popular venue for weddings. Children are catered for with a monthly children’s mass.
