Who Are We?

We at St Aidan's and St Bernadette's are a growing faith comunity located in Wallsend, an area of North Tyneside, Tyne & Wear, England. As part of it's rich heritage Wallsend is best known for its position as the point which Hadrian's Wall ends. In Roman times Wallsend hosted the fort Segedunum, a defensive structure built to protect England from the fierce raids coming down from the North. However, times have changed and unlike the Romans and following the leadership of our parish priest, Fr John Mcelhone, our communities are invited to place a strong empasis on welcoming all.

Our Mission:

We are a welcoming Catholic community committed to fostering growth in faith, love of God and discipleship

Our Vision

To be a Christ-centred worshipping community committed to bringing others to the love of God through our actions and words.
