Today we celebrate the Feast of St Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles. Known also as Nathaniel in John’s Gospel, he carried the Good News as far as India, and by tradition gave his life in Armenia as a martyr. You can find him on our High Altar screen - a reminder of his witness and faith that continues to inspire today.✨

24th August is Ukrainian Independence Day. In solidarity as a cathedral community we fly the Ukrainian flag and offer our prayers for peace in Ukraine.

🕊️Today we mark and remember Ukrainian Independence Day. We do so mindful that over the last three and a half years there has been so much war and violence, and we pray for and renew our commitment to peace in Ukraine and throughout the world.

God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
All Amen.
