Welcome to the historic
Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Church
in Kingston upon Hull
Explore parish life through our blog and stay connected with daily news and services from the diocese and the Vatican. Enjoy our photo galleries, helpful links, and shared resources. Most of all, we hope this space feels like an open door — a welcoming online home for parishioners, visitors, and anyone curious about the Catholic faith. Here you can discover our community, share in our life of prayer, and learn about the rich heritage of our historic church.
Whether you are new, returning, or simply exploring, you are very welcome here. The plain frontage on Jarratt Street doesn’t give much away, but step inside and you’ll understand why people are often pleasantly surprised. Our church has been serving Hull’s Catholic community since 1829, through good times and difficult ones.
We’re ordinary people who gather here to pray, celebrate the sacraments, and support each other through whatever life brings. It’s been that way for nearly two centuries, and it continues today.Whether you’re cradle Catholic or just curious, whether you’re celebrating or struggling, you’ll find your place here. This is where Hull’s Catholic story began, and it’s still unfolding through every person who walks through our doors.
