Recall then that you have received the spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear in God's presence. Guard what you have received. God the Father has marked you with his sign; Christ the Lord has confirmed you and has placed his pledge, the Spirit, in your hearts.

​Sacrament of Confirmation

On Saturday October 10th it was lovely to have Bishop Mark here at the Cathedral celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation for sixteen young confirmandee from across the diocese. Let us keep them in our prayers.

We welcomed Anna Charnock into the Catholic faith on Sunday 16 June, at the 10.00am Mass.  Pictured opposite, Anna receives the sacraments of  baptism and confirmation from Canon Mark.

We congratulate Anna and pray that this will just be the start of a fruitful journey in faith.

​Classes for teenagers are held weekly in the Cathedral Centre (term time only) from November until Pentecost.  Please contact the Cathedral Office to enrol your child and for further details.
