We were honoured to be invited by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor and the Sheriff of York to the Mansion House yesterday to mark the Oratory’s contribution to the life of the City. Fr Richard got to realize a childhood ambition to dress up as the Lord Mayor!

Ss William & Margaret: Pray for us!
“We're all called to represent Christ in the networks of our daily life and we are called to build bridges. It is what St. William of York did. It is why he is worth remembering. It is what we must do too.”
Here’s my sermon in full, given during a special commemorative service for St William of York.

On Wednesday I’ll be joining Bishop Terry Drainey for an Ecumenical Pilgrimage from the shrine of St Margaret Clitherow to @York_Minster. We are all part of the family of God—sisters and brothers walking together on the Way.

As soon as there was white smoke, the Oratory Bell Ringers were on hand to spread the news that we have a pope!

Nineteen #ringers represented the Oratory in the W W Worthington ringing contest held at #Ranmoor. The "Oratory Seniors" band were placed 3rd out of 7, whilst the "Oratory Youths" were close behind in 4th. The Trophy was awarded to a band from the @DioceseofDerby. Well done all!

Vatican’s new ecumenical document: “Even though not all theological dialogues have treated the topic of [Primacy] at the same level or in the same depth, it is possible to indicate some new approaches with regard to controversial theological questions.” christianunity.va/content/da…

Two hundred years ago today, St John Henry Newman of the Oratory began his Christian ministry as he was ordained a deacon in the Church of England at @ChChCathedralOx.
Members of the community visited the cathedral to mark the occasion.
“It is over. I am thine, O Lord”

Today, we mourn and try to articulate an incalculable loss. I celebrated & preached at the Abbey’s first Requiem for Queen Elizabeth II at 8am. As The Queen said, ‘grief is the price we pay for love.’ But in the Eucharist, love is the gift we receive for grief.

The Lambeth Conference ‘is taking place at a time of great need for the love of God.’
Thank you, Your Majesty, for such gracious words of wisdom and encouragement as we gather at @lambethpalace today for a day of prayer and action on the environment.

Might I suggest taking two minutes out of your afternoon routine to pray for his swift and unconditional release?

The Oratory bellringers had a trip to the Low Countries. Dordrecht has the only two rings of bells in Holland hung for English change-ringing, and is home of Europe's largest carillon, which they saw being played, before moving on to Ypres, to ring Belgium's only ring of bells.

York's famous Purple Man, currently walking up and down the Shambles for Ukraine, is in harmony with the veiled statues at the Shrine of St Margaret Clitherow.
