Tuesday 23rd April 2013 marks the Solemnity of St George, Patron Saint of England.

Happy St George’s Day!

Great Saint George,
our patron, help us,
in the conflict be thou nigh;
help us in that daily battle,
where each one must win or die.

In Eastertide, we reflect on the different events following Jesus’ resurrection.  This short video leads us through the 14 ‘Stations of the Light’.

He has risen, as he said he would, Alleluia!

HAPPY EASTER!

Here is a video of the traditional “Regina Coeli” Eastertide chant to the Blessed Virgin Mary.  If you listen to the end, you will hear a more modern rendering of the chant!

Habemus Papam – we have a Pope!

Pope Francis – he was Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in Argentina.

Pray for him as he begins the huge responsibility as the 265th successor of St Peter.

 

Archbishop Nichols has written a letter explaining how we may all participate in the forthcoming Conclave (beginning on Tuesday 12th March).

Through prayer it is truly a Conclave for all. No-one is excluded. Everyone can contribute.
