About	Saint Charles Borromeo is a parish church established to serve the people from the community with an authentic sharing of the Catholic faith. It is the oldest post-reformation Catholic Church in the area and was built in 1829 and is a Grade 1 listed building. The church is set in a central location, convenient for the neighbouring community and visitors from afar to attend Mass and other services. Over the years, the church has been expanded and embellished to serve the city's rapidly growing population. Saint Charles Borromeo is regarded as the mother church of the Catholic community in Kingston-Upon-Hull. It has been described as having ‘“One of the most opulent and dramatic interiors of any nineteenth-century church in England – a fantastical Roman church, with a heavy touch of Austrian rococo” by Christopher Martin in his book ‘A glimpse of heaven’. All are welcome to come along and experience the wonder and ambience of this special place.
