St Catherine's church, New Brancepeth

Getting here

St. Catherine's is a small Anglican church in the small ex-mining community of New Brancepeth.

The church plays an important part in the life of the village with regular Sunday and weekday worship and links with the Primary school, especially through Open the Book. We provide a place for worship and the ongoing need for baptisms, weddings and funeral services.
We also provide a place for village social events and try to hold a monthly event to give the community a chance get together socially.
Some events are for fundraising purposes to raise funds for vital repairs and the general upkeep of the building and grounds.
The church has a Safeguarding policy which was introduced in 2015.
