“Mary is holding up a light in this place to show us the way to her divine Son.” — Fr Stephen Willis
Fr Stephen Willis reflects on the significance of the Shrine of Our Lady of Willesden, a devotion held for generations in London and beyond.
Our Lady of Willesden, pray for us.
Magnificat anima mea Dominum
“My soul magnifies the Lord.” (Luke 1:46)
The Shrine of Our Lady of Willesden is a cherished site of devotion and Pilgrimage. Last Sunday, we walked our Lady in a procession to open our hearts to Jesus.
Our Lady of Willesden, pray for us.
Adoremus /a.doˈreː.mus/
Let us adore.
Last Saturday, we blessedly gathered in faith, walking from Southwark Cathedral to Westminster Cathedral to worship Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. In London's busy streets, we praised and rested in His presence.
'O Bread of Heaven, beneath this veil
Thou dost my very God conceal:
My Jesus, dearest treasure, hail!
I love Thee and, adoring, kneel;
Each loving soul by Thee is fed
With Thine own Self in form of Bread.'
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar!

Every year, our Diocese journeys to Walsingham for a peaceful space of prayer and faith. This pilgrimage is about living our faith together.
May Our Lady of Walsingham intercede for us after last week's meaningful journey.
Andrew and Marie visited Our Lady in Walsingham to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, coinciding with the Diocese of Westminster's pilgrimage. They attribute their marriage's blessings to Our Lady's intercession. As her feast day approaches, may we seek her graces! 🕊️
Today, our diocese marked the 10th annual pilgrimage to Our Lady of Walsingham. 🤍
Archbishop Richard Moth celebrated Mass and we walked the Holy Mile through wind and rain, carrying our prayers.
Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us.
Throwback to the Walsingham Pilgrimage 2025! ✨
Just 1 day until this year's pilgrimage! Here’s a glimpse of past joy through prayer, faith, and community.
May Our Lady guide us on this beautiful journey. Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us!
Bishop Frank Dougan reflects on the dignity of every unborn child: “Each child has a place in God’s heart for eternity. Once conceived, the Creator’s dream comes true.” - Pope Francis
Thank you to all who participated in the #MarchforLife!
Today, Archbishop Richard Moth celebrated the Mass for Life at Westminster Cathedral, where many gathered alongside 14 Bishops from across the UK to pray that the sanctity of every human life may be defended, from conception to natural death.
This was followed by the #MarchForLife, n protest against laws that legalise abortion.
We also keep our lawmakers in prayer, that they may be guided by the Holy Spirit, as they prepare to vote once again on legislation that would legalise assisted suicide in the UK.
