​A STATEMENT FROM CANON PAUL CUMMINS,  DIOCESAN ADMINISTRATOR

What a joyful evening. God has blessed us with a new shepherd to guide His Church. This is a moment of pure joy and hope for all of us in the Diocese of Plymouth, in England and Wales, and indeed across the world. Thanks be to God for this great gift.

The election of a Pope is always a significant moment for the Catholic Church. so I invite you to support Pope Leo XIV in his new ministry of service as we join in prayer for him;

May the Lord protect him and grant him length of days. Amen.

May the Lord be his shield and deliver him from all harm. Amen.

May the Lord give him happiness and peace all the days of his life. Amen.”

Canon Paul Cummins, Diocesan Administrator
Diocese of Plymouth

​(Prayer taken from the CBCEW)


On Thursday 8 May,  it was announced to the World that Cardinal Robert Francis had been elected Pope Leo XIV.

World Apostolate of Fatima

It was lovely to receive the Pilgrim Virgin Statue and Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco here at the Cathedral over the weekend of the 10-11 May and for us to welcome many pilgrims from accross the diocese who share the lovely occaision with us.

The Pilgrim Virgin Statue and Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco to visit at our Cathedral on the weekend of 10-11 May 2025
This Visitation is a particular remembrance of the apparition to Sr Lucia, the oldest Fatima seer, which took place inDecember 1925 when she was a postulant with the Sisters of St Dorothy at Pontevedra in Spain.
The Blessed Virgin appeared with the Child Jesus and gave more details of the devotion of reparation which she had mentioned to the shepherd children during the July 1917 apparition. 
This devotion is connected with the conversion of
Russia and ultimately with world peace, and this is why the World Apostolate of Fatima in England & Wales is promoting it so strongly during the centenary year,
given that our world is so much in need of peace. And it is also providential that this celebration coincidences with the larger celebration of the Church’s Jubilee year, which has the theme of “Pilgrims of Hope.”
Over the weekend the Visitation will include a number of different events, including:
 · Procession of the Fatima Pilgrim Virgin Statue.
· Enthronement and Crowning of the Fatima
· Mass celebrated by the Dean of the Cathedral will
       follow the enthronement.
· The opportunity to venerate the relics of Saints
       Jacinta and Francisco.
· The Rosary will be prayed with the intention of  
       world  peace.
        
· During breaks, a book table will be available for
        browsing and purchases.
· Informative talks and videos about Fatima will be
        presented.
· Participants can enrol in the Brown Scapular         
       devotion.
· The Visitation concludes with a Holy Hour and
        Benediction.
 

Proclaim

Picture
Proclaim is aimed at young adults celebrating their faith in the Southwest. It is inspired by a young adult, Iona Robinson who grew up in Devon she always felt that she had to put her faith on hold until she left the Southwest but now, she realises that there is so much for her here in the Southwest. We have some great speakers, mostly with connections with the Southwest, these include; Daniella Stephens, Jemimah Paine and Martin Shaw. John Withers has agreed to support the music and worship. Sclerder Abbey have agreed to host the event. The cost includes entry to the festival, camping and food. To book follow the link: https://forms.office.com/e/UGhbpWerRF
