The Catholic Womens' League was founded nationally in 1906 by Margaret Fletcher. The Hexham and Newcastle Branch was founded in 1911. Our Section was formed and founded in 1949.

Internationally we are involved with many organisations ie., The Services, World Union of Catholic Women, and Age Conern. We also support Refugees and Asylum Seekers, CAFOD and many other charities. This year our NATIONAL CHARITY is 'HELP FOR HEROES'.

We meet every week and attend quarterly Branch Meetings, Branch Social activities, and the National AGM. We are involved in Lay Reading, Eucharistic Ministry and sick visiting. We serve teas in the Parish Centre for bereaved families and help to provide Nurses, Doctors or Helpers to assist on the Pilgrimage to Lourdes. We support local charities.
