The ordination will be livestreamed from Brentwood Cathedral. Please pray for Paschal as he becomes a priest.

Each day includes Morning Prayer, Mass, Rosary and Angelus, Afternoon Reflection and Evening Prayer, with the week also including a Marian (‘Torchlight’) procession where the Hail Mary will be prayed in over 40 languages, as well as Stations of the Cross. A talent show offers a social element to the pilgrimage on Friday evening, and throughout the week there is a special programme for young people.

Four individuals living in London, including our own Rev Paschal Uche, share openly and frankly their experiences of being Black and Catholic.

“Journeying Together” aims to inspire, inform and encourage youth ministers as they continue to work with and support young people over the coming months.

Organised by BCYS, a full week of virtual pilgrimage with Bishop Alan will include daily Mass, Rosary, Angelus, Morning and Night Prayer, daily reflections … and a talent show.

Canon Brian O’Shea has launched a last project as he prepares to leave his Grays parish.

The Archbishops warn that we cannot return immediately to our customary practices and there will be a limit on the number of people who can attend Mass in our churches.
