St. Mary's Cathedral is a bustling
community in the heart of Newcastle City Centre. Each week we see
scores of tourists and casual visitors. Many who visit the Cathedral,
however, are regular worshippers who bring their own vivacity and
character to the Cathedral. As a parish and a community the Cathedral
tries to provide for the spiritual, pastoral and social needs for
all who walk through the doors.
The Cathedral is the mother church
of the Diocese of Hexham & Newcastle and
is so called because in it the bishop has
his official throne (Cathedra). The day-to-day running of the Cathedral
is overseen by the Cathedral Dean who is supported in this role
by the other resident clergy.
This directory is a kind of whistle-stop
tour of the Cathedral's life and work. Countless members of our
congregation give unselfishly of their time and talent to make
this historic building the focus of a vibrant Christian community.
