Later this year the Diocese of Lancaster will celebrate 100 years since its foundation by Pope Pius XI. This has a special resonance for us because it is the moment St Peter’s went from being a simple parish church to a cathedral. Beginning in November the Diocese will have a series of celebrations to give thanks to God for the 100 years of its existence. The official beginning of these celebrations will be on the feast of Christ the King, 24th November, with the Bishop celebrating our 10.30am Mass.
