Sunday 13.07.25 11am Final choral service of the choir year. Music by Drake, Batten & Mendelssohn. Valediction of choral scholar and admission of new chorister. @DonMinster
The choristers are very excited that it’s just one month until May Morning, when the Informator Choristarum will be abseiling off the tower in a tradition dating back over 500 years. Sir John Stainer was, allegedly, the fastest Informator, reaching the ground in nine seconds.
Services for Ash Wednesday 12.30pm, a said Eucharist with imposition of ashes. 7.00pm Choral Eucharist with imposition of ashes sung by members of the Minster Choir @DonMinster @DioceseofSheff
All welcome
@CottrellStephen How many more of your Bishops are going to resign?
Major reworking is needed.
This is why people should be APPOINTED by the CROWN, not appointed by a board of dodgy vicars…
🚨 NEW: Priti Patel has released a statement clarifying her comments:
"The immigration system in our country is not fit for purpose. As I said in the interview, I was not happy about the high numbers while the Conservatives were in government.
"Our party is now under new leadership and it is important we learn from our mistakes and how we can do things better.
"As a former Home Secretary, I have seen no interest whatsoever from any other political parties in understanding the system or learning these lessons.
"I'm pleased the Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Home Secretary have said they will develop a new plan on how to control immigration, including a hard cap on visas. This is what is needed. More words will not solve the problem."
Thank you to the 2,500 people who joined us in person and online for a wonderful Advent Procession.
For those who couldn't make it, you can watch back online or enjoy this selection of photos which attempt to capture some of the ambiance.
Fab day on Monday singing evensong @wabbey with two of the teenage scholars from the Minster Choir. Both are a great ambassadors for the Minster and choir. @DonMinster @DioceseofSheff
So excited to announce that Come Holy Ghost is now available to purchase-perfect piece for baptisms, confirmations, ordinations and of course, Pentecost! @RSCMCentre https://t.co/Qf5M7vtWiw
@BassPMK@RJSYork@YorkMinChoir Incredible, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Well done to all the choristers and students from St Peter’s, and an even greater well done to the soloists.
I'm looking forward to conducting the Stanford Magnificat in our joint Orchestral Evensong with @YorkMinChoir later this month. It will also be fantastic to hear a new orchestration of the Bairstow by Philip Moore conducted @RJSYork.
