Welcome to our new and extended website

Explore parish life through our blog, keep up daily with Vatican news and diocesan videos. Explore our photo galleries, and more. We’re creating an open parish space online — a place for parishioners and friends to share faith, community, and the heritage of our historic church.

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.
