Welcome to Saint Charles Catholic Church in Kingston upon Hull
Whether you are a regular parishioner, a returning Catholic, or simply visiting the area, you are warmly invited to join us at St Charles Borromeo. Our church is a place of welcome, prayer, and community, where everyone can feel at home.
At the heart of our parish life is the celebration of Mass. Here, we gather to worship God, to listen to the Scriptures, and to reflect together through thoughtful and engaging homilies. Each Mass offers a moment of peace in a busy world — a chance to pause, to pray, and to draw closer to God.
Visitors are always very welcome. You do not need to be familiar with everything — simply come as you are. Our congregation is friendly and inclusive, and there is always someone ready to offer a warm smile and a helping hand.
Beyond the liturgy, St Charles is a living community. Many people stay after Mass to chat, catch up with friends, and support one another. It is a place where faith is shared not only in words, but in everyday kindness and companionship.
If you are exploring your faith, returning after some time away, or looking for a parish to call home, we would be delighted to welcome you.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our Masses — to worship together, to listen, to pray, and to be part of a community that cares.
