"THANK YOU TO OUR PRIESTS"...

...said our big placard, and with a cheery crowd of young people from St Patrick's, Soho Square, and a great team from the Association of Catholic Women, we greeted priests of the Westminster diocese as they arrived for the Chrism Mass this morning at the Cathedral. It was glorious: a chance to greet so many priests personally and exchange news and greetings, a joy to see the genuine pleasure given by our small holy cards — bearing a verse from Scripture and the thanks of women in the diocese for the service given by priests — and all in the wonderful setting of the great Cathedral at the start of Holy Week.
