This afternoon we had the beautiful opportunity to process from St George’s Cathedral in @RC_Southwark through London to @WestminsterCath! 🥰🙏
It was great to witness to our faith as we sang and prayed together! 😄

"You are a wonderful reminder to everyone of the importance of the sacrifice of the Mass in our lives and in the life of the whole world." +Moth
Last Saturday the National Mass was held at Westminster Cathedral where we welcomed over 500 servers from across 15 of dioceses of England and Wales, a post-pandemic record.
The archbishop preached on the martyrdom of our patron St Stephen, how the word martyr means ‘witness’ and how all who serve at the altar are visible ‘witnesses’ to faith and the importance of the server in the liturgy.
You can read his full homily, find all the photos and the Order of Service at the link below. Our thanks to all who helped arrange this special day in advance and on the day. Our thanks also to the Choir of Gunnersbury Catholic School and the Westminster Diocese Comms team for the photos.
If you have any photos let us know by tagging us in your social post or email to [email protected].

@WestminsterCath as you’ve never seen it. Luminiscence brings its walls and arches alive — offering a remarkable glimpse of what this great cathedral might one day become.

Pictured in the tympanum above the West Door, St Edward the Confessor, vested as king, kneels in adoration before the King of Kings.

In other years, today would have been the feast of St Francis of Assisi who, on 3 October 1226, was born into heaven singing Psalm 141 – ‘Voce mea ad Dominum’.
St Francis of Assisi, pray for us.

To mark this 800th anniversary, @Pontifex inaugurated a Jubilee Year of St Francis, from Jan 2026 to Jan 2027, complete with a plenary indulgence, which can be gained by visiting any Franciscan church, or church dedicated to St Francis, and fulfilling the usual requirements.
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day, be at my side, to light, to guard, to rule, and guide. Amen.
Holy Guardian Angels, pray for us.

After many weeks of cycling to reach Rome, today Andrew got to experience a moment with Pope Leo XIV. This is a quote from his experience.
He will continue through Italy on his journey to the Holy Land whilst continuing to raise funds for #RedWednesday's 10th Anniversary! You can follow his journey and support his fundraiser here: orlo.uk/gTYLZ

Did you know Fulton Sheen once served in the heart of London? From @WestminsterCath to @StPatricksSoho, his time here included some remarkable encounters.

Today we celebrate the feast of St Matthew, Apostle, Evangelist, and former tax collector (publican).
Painted on the Great Rood by WC Symons, Matthew is depicted as the angel from Ezekiel’s vision; one of four creatures surrounding the crucified Christ.
St Matthew, pray for us.
Today we celebrate the memorial of the Most Holy Name of Mary.
Each of us, by virtue of our Baptism, is named for Christ and called to gaze upon the Beatific Vision with Mary our Mother.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

The Assisted Suicide Bill has been defeated - thanks be to God 🙏
Archbishop John Wilson said:
“I am grateful to everyone who made their voices heard in defence of life, especially by writing to their MPs and sharing their messages of hope. By the grace of God, MPs have listened and voted against assisted suicide. Together, we have shown that we will not stand by while the sacredness of life is under threat.
“As the many thousands at the March for Life demonstrated, we are a people of life and a people of joy. We must continue to be witnesses for Christ by courageously and joyfully making the case for life - from conception until natural death”
