Our Mass Schedule & Parish Services

The celebration of Mass is at the heart of our parish; it is the moment each week when we come together, slow down, and reconnect with God and with one another. On this page you’ll find the full schedule of Mass times and services for St Paul’s RC Church, Alnwick and Sacred Heart & St Cuthbert, Amble, making it easy to join us whenever you can. Whether you come every week, are returning after some time away, or are simply visiting this glorius part of Northumberland, you’ll always be warmly welcome.

Details for Reconciliation (Confession) are also included for those who seek God’s mercy, peace, and a fresh start.

To help you pray and follow the Church year, this page also includes the complete Catholic Liturgical Calendar for 2025 and 2026, along with today’s Mass readings provided through Universalis, so you can stay connected to the Church’s daily rhythm from home, on the move, or in church.

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven.
Whoever eats of this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

Other Notices

  • Special parish events will be listed.
  • This Wednesday (18th February) is Ash Wednesday. Instead of giving some thing up for Lent this year, why not do something else like coming to Stations of the Cross. During Lent, services of Stations of the Cross will take place each Friday evening in St Paul's Church starting at 7.00pm and lasting around 30 minutes. There will be a different form of the Liturgy each week and you will be most welcome.
