​Welcome
A very warm welcome to parishioners and visitors to the website of the parish of St Bede's, Bedlington, Northumberland, situated in the North East of England in the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. The parish was established in 1876 under the care of the Benedictines and its mission was, as it is today, the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jubilee 2025
In the heart of each person, hope dwells as the desire and expectation of good things to come, despite our not knowing what the future will bring.
Pope Francis

The Jubilee Prayer
By praying the official Prayer, we join with our global family, to use the same words to express gratitude to God for the Jubilee experience and request the grace of forgiveness.
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally. May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen
