ST. GEORGE’S CATHEDRAL – Next Week’s retiring collection St George’s Cathedral has been the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of Southwark, home to 175 parishes and over 50,000 Roman Catholics. The Cathedral frequently hosts important Diocesan and national celebrations. There is a rich musical tradition, maintaining a choir of boys and men, as well as a girls’ choir, both of which sing at Sunday Masses and on major feasts. It is entirely reliant upon the generosity of its parishioners and the Archdiocese of Southwark to keep its doors open.
DONALD ALMEIDA RIP: Please pray for Donald who died on Tuesday.
NEW AUXILIARY BISHOP FOR OUR ARCHDIOCESE OF SOUTHWARK. Our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Canon Gerard Bradley as Auxiliary Bishop for our Archdiocese of Southwark. Bishop-Elect Gerard’s Episcopal Ordination will be on Monday 2 February in our Cathedral. The Holy Father has assigned him the Titular See of Beverley, the birthplace in Yorkshire of St John Fisher, loved by us all as a former Catholic Bishop of Rochester.
RACIAL JUSTICE SUNDAY 1 FEBRUARY 2026: Archbishop John Wilson will celebrate Mass for Racial Justice Sunday at St George’s Cathedral at 10am.
