Who Are We?

We at St Aidan's and St Bernadette's are a growing faith community located in Wallsend, an area of North Tyneside, Tyne & Wear, England.  Wallsend is best known for its position as the point at which Hadrian’s Wall ends.  In Roman times Wallsend hosted the fort Segedunum, a defensive structure built to protect England from northern raids. However, unlike the Romans and under the leadership of our parish priest, Fr John McElhone, our parish communities are invited to place a strong emphasis on welcoming.

 Our Mission:

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