Welcome to the website of
Our Lady Immaculate & Saint Cuthbert's Church
The Roman Catholic parish of Our Lady Immaculate & Saint Cuthbert
serves the town of Crook and the surrounding area. The parish
is part of the Diocese
of Hexham and Newcastle and the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool. Its home is a beautiful
church designed by Pugin and is close to the town centre.
Responsibility for the running of the parish lies
with Reverend Gordon Ryan. He is also responsible for running the parishes of St. Thomas of Canterbury, Wolsingham and St. Joseph's, Tow Law.
The intention of this website is to share with you our beautiful
church in Crook and let you know what is going on by explaining to you
all aspects of our parish life and the community around us. Included in "Our Church" page is a link to a brief history of Our Lady Immaculate & St. Cuthbert's if you would like to read how and when the church was built.
It is intended to be as informative as possible and everyone
is encouraged to contact us with any suggestion which may be
of help to our community.
We are particularly keen to hear from any former parishioners who are living out of the area and details of how to contact
us are contained within the website.
WELCOME BACK SUNDAY: will be celebrated across our diocese on Pentecost Sunday 27 May. It is a call to all of us to reach out a friendly hand and extend a gentle invitation to those who are distanced from the church. The Diocesan Evangelisation Team has prepared material to help us - invitation cards, posters and a Helpline. Contact Fr. Ryan for further details.
Read all about The Parish Centre , in the St. Cuthbert's Centre page which tells you about how it was established in 2010, together with some photographs of the opening and details of hire charges.
