On this Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, a little known fact about the Cathedral is that the Google Street View images were taken on this day in 2024. Children from schools were having a lunch break ahead of singing Mass for the Feast, and were very excited to be pictured!

Well worth a trip to York on Saturday to hear Elgar’s wonderful setting of St John Henry Newman’a text in the beautiful setting of @York_Minster

[York Oratory @YorkOratory]

The Dream of Gerontius is being performed in the Minster this Saturday.
Fr Richard gave a fascinating pre-concert talk about our Cardinal’s poem, and John Dunford compellingly explained Elgar’s extraordinary new musical language for the score.

Today is the Feast of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome and Founder of the Congregation of the Oratory.

He is one of those great Counter-Reformation saints and whose joy and cheerfulness radiated through all that he did.

The coming week sees the annual Diocesan Lourdes pilgrimage. It was lovely to hear from children, yesterday, who were looking forward to celebrating Pentecost in Lourdes, tomorrow.

We wish all in Lourdes, or en route, a blessed pilgrimage.

The Diocese may be very empty, today, as Hull City and Middlesbrough play each other in the EFL Play Off final at Wembley.
