‪The procession of Priests and Deacons is under way ahead of the Installation of Archbishop John Wilson.‬

We are delighted that our Cathedral Choir under the direction of Jonathan Schranz will be providing music, alongside the diocesan choir, at this major event for the Archdiocese of Southwark.

MESSAGE FROM ARCHBISHOP JOHN WILSON:
Dear friends,
Tomorrow the Church keeps the Feast of the great Apostle St James. It is also the date of my formal Installation as the eleventh Archbishop of Southwark which will take place in St George’s Cathedral.
... I begin my new ministry in the joy and hope that comes from faith in the Lord Jesus, once crucified and now forever risen from the dead. In the Gospel reading from St Matthew, which we shall hear during the Installation Mass, the Lord Jesus proclaims that he came ‘not to be served, but to serve.’ This is the pattern for all discipleship and mission in the Church. We are to be servants of each other in the strength of the love of Christ which has been poured into our hearts.
I very much look forward to getting to know the people of the Archdiocese, it parishes, schools, and religious communities. I have much to learn and I will need your support and collaboration as we work together to share our faith in word and action.
Please pray for me, and for the priests, deacons, religious and lay people of the Archdiocese. And please be sure of my prayers for you, in particular if you, or your loved ones, are sick or facing any kind of difficulty or suffering.
We are one body in Christ and we step forward together with trust in God’s living and loving presence in our lives.
With every blessing Yours sincerely in Christ
+ John
The Most Rev. John Wilson Archbishop of Southwark

CATHEDRAL MUSIC: Today is the last Sunday that the Cathedral Choir will be singing until September. Our thanks go to our Director of Music, Jonathan Schranz, our Organist and Assistant Director of Music, Frederick Stocken, and all the members of the Cathedral Choir for providing such beautiful music to support our liturgy. It takes a lot of hard work. The choir now have a well-deserved break until September.
