Welcome to Whitby’s RC Community
Our parish is a Roman Catholic Christian community covering Whitby, Sleights, Robin Hood’s Bay and the surrounding villages. It is part of the Diocese of Middlesbrough.
The local parish church is St Hilda’s in Whitby and there is an affiliated Catholic church The English Martyrs three miles outside of Whitby at Sleights. Both church’s have a thriving local community which welcomes visitors to join for services or participate in one of the various ministries and charitable causes.
After the Sunday morning service at St Hilda’s, Whitby, tea, coffee and biscuits are served in the Church Hall at the rear of the church in Walker Street and visitors are welcome. Parishioners at English Martyrs at Sleights are also always open to a chat after Mass.
Whatever your reason for visiting our parish, we hope you enjoy the beautiful scenery and fellowship we have in this part of North Yorkshire.
