Welcome message from Fr Adrian

Welcome to the website for the Catholic Church in Billingham. As you will see our parish is called Saint Thomas of Canterbury and our worship is currently based at two churches, Holy Rosary and Saint John’s.

If you are a newcomer or visitor to the area we would be delighted if you could join us for Mass and other services. Please see the weekly Newsletter for details.

As you browse the website you will find there are pages on what’s going on, how you can arrange Baptisms, Marriages etc. as well as prayers, reflections, and parish activities.

If you wish to become a regular worshipper and member of our parish we hope to make you feel at home as soon as possible. It would be good if you could get in touch with Father Adrian.

Perhaps you could complete a registration form which can be found at the back of each church. You could then hand it in at church or post it.

God bless you.

Fr. Adrian Dixon
