Reviews of St. Mary's Cathedral

a. v.

is a Catholic cathedral in Newcastle, situated on Clayton Street. It was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin and built between 1842 and 1844. The cathedral is a grade I listed building and a fine example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture championed by Pugin. There is a monument dedicated to Cardinal Basil Hume in the Monument Garden outside of the cathedral, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. St Mary's Cathedral is the sixth tallest structure in the city.

Beautiful Catholic church right by the station. Love the stained glass windows and was fortunate enough to attend Mass here before covid started.

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.

Highly decorated, spacious, we attended lovely service for schools. Interesting industrial window.

L. C.

M. L.

Great cathedral. Prayerful atmosphere. Beautiful windows and statues

j. b.

I'm a regular at Sunday Mass and love this place everyone goes out of their way to make u welcome woteva religion u are. The Priests are very friendly so is Bishop Robert who is there on special occasions. The choir is amazing and the volunteers and staff will help u with any questions you have, it is also a very beautiful place to visit just to look at the interior but please respect the privacy of the people who are there to pray. There is also a cafe and shop check out the website

l. r.

Not a very reverent mass but nice building and regular confession times is handy

M. m.

I felt I was back home in Ireland ,brought all those beautiful memories growing up,the priest ,the folk choir and congregation so homely ,thank you for this experience.

Sadly, the cathedral is currently closed for repairs during work days, so I only got to see the outside. Looks nice. Hope to visit when the repairs are complete.

C. M.

N. S.

Beautiful Cathedral. Would have loved to spend more time here, had it not been closing.

S. W.

Great experience here today. My first visit to St Mary’s and I wasn’t disappointed, the sun was streaming in through the stained glass and was lighting everything beautifully. The interior is painted unlike so many plain and austere churches. The rich colours set the main nave off very well. Lots of visual appeal. The colours being yellow, red and green and the stone and wooden roof gave a slight Hogwarts great hall feeling! The service was lovely, the choir were great to listen too and the cloisters cafe was good as well.

M. R.

Beautiful Catholic Church, the main church of Hexham and Newcastle Diocese. Undergoing some decorating, but mostly on the High Altar. Lovely place, great atmosphere. Recommended for a visit

M. P.

J. B.

Beautiful Building, very welcoming

M. S.

A beautiful place of peace and worship. There's always a warm welcome for everyone here. The cathedral building is a stunning feature of Newcastle's history and has just celebrated its 175th anniversary.

M. C. (.

The cathedral is beautiful I went to an ordination there . There are gardens that are used for get togethers today it was where the buffet was held its very nice. There is wheelchair access If going by car there is no parking space but the car park Time Square is nearby and the rates are very good. The Metro is just across the road in Central station

A. H.

The most favourite church for me. Beautiful, warm, nature colours that you will not expect to see before you enter this cathedral. Great choir, organ music and very spiritual and integral atmosphere during mass.

R. r. 1.

A beautiful cathedral with a renowned stained glass window to the east side. Old style gothic but Modern comparatively to other historical buildings in the city, being completed in the mid 1800’s. A short walk from Newcastle’s central station

D. L.

An oasis of peace and quiet in the midst of such a busy city. The stained glass windows are amazing, especially the one depicting the heritage of the locality - mining, textiles, fishing and more. Wonderful.

T. J.

Lovely cathedral right opposite the Central Railway Station. Has its own cafe serving hot meals and drinks.

P. G.

Beautiful restoration of this holy place

F. T.

Coming in from the hustle and bustle of a busy city centre the Cathedral is a haven of peace and tranquility. The feeling of calm envelopes you as you walk through the doors. It is one of my favourite places to visit.

R. W.

Mass appears fairly well attended even during the pandemic. Relaxed atmosphere and interesting stained glass with coal miners etc.

A. L.

Intriguing interior. Serene atmosphere. Good to see the 'space' being used to engage the community. Saw Eliot Smith Dance Performance here. Outstanding!

S. K.

Went to mass at noon on a freezing spring day. Beautiful place of peace and solitude in the busy city center. I was much impressed by the area at the back of the catheferal dedicated to the Irish contingent of the Northumbrian Fusileers who took devastating losses in WW1.

R. H.

Pretty small inside but a quiet place in the city of you fancy a sit down away from big issue sellers, toxic traffic fumes and people with clip boards saying "can I just have 1 minute of your time?" before they give you 200 tedious questions about lifestyle and aspirations.

P.

Nice church and nice ceremony. Good preacher

R. L.

Safe place of worship to visit. May all the churches remain open for this is where we find peace and comfort.

C. I.
