St Robert’s is a Gem Church, which is normally open for worship and quiet prayer during daylight hours.  However because of the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic we are unable to open our church at the moment and apologise to all those who wish to visit our lovely church.

Morpeth is the County Town of Northumberland. It is a small market town situated in South Northumberland on the banks of the River Wansbeck and St Robert of Newminster Church stands in a beautiful spot next to the river.

St Robert of Newminster Parish shares it’s site with St Robert’s First School and has active Catholic Women’s League, St Vincent de Paul and Catenian groups running.

Your Weekly Offering

During this time of not being able to attend Public Masses, you may be wondering about what to do about your weekly offering to the Church.  You can drop off your weekly envelope through the letterbox of the Presbytery;  you can keep your offering until such time that we are once again back to attending Church; or to make your life much easier, you could complete a Standing Order Mandate, where you ask your bank to take your collection amount out of your account and pay it directly into the Parish Account.  If you wish to do this, a copy of the Mandate is available here to download, complete and post to your bank.  Copies are also available in Church.

Another way of making your weekly offering is direct via BACS.  You can go online to your Bank account and make an online payment.  Send an email to the parish email address and a link will be forwarded for you to follow to make a BACS payment.
