Come and Join some of us next Saturday at Durham Cathedral 10.30am
With less than a week to go, many of us are praying the Novena to St Cuthbert in preparation for this year's pilgrimage:
THE ANNUAL ST CUTHBERT NOVENA
Friday 28 August to Saturday 5 September 2026
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Great Saint Cuthbert, Apostle of the North of England, we come to ask for your prayers. Pray for me and for the whole Church of Christ. Pray for all those in need this day and especially for those dear to my heart. Through your great and heroic efforts, Christianity has found a home in this land: may it ever be so. You were a man of honour and faith in your own earthly pilgrimage: assist me by your powerful intercession to be an honest servant of Christ. I ask you to pray for this special request if it be God’s holy will:
Fri 28 Aug: For the Church of England, that she may be faithful to Christ in all things
Sat 29 Aug: For the success of the festival to be held one week hence, and for Durham Cathedral and its Chapter
Sun 30 Aug: For Stephen, Bishop of Beverley, and all the parishes of The Society under his care, that under God they may grow and prosper
Mon 31 Aug: For the whole Catholic Movement in the Church of England
Tue 1 Sep: For world peace
Wed 2 Sep: For the poor, lonely, sick, and all the faithful departed
Thu 3 Sep: For all who reject Christ, that they might come to believe
Fri 4 Sep: For an increase in vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life in the Church of England
Sat 5 Sep: For the Conversion of England
Finally, say the 'Our Father' and then the following Collect:
O God, who made your name known to us through the Saints of Northern England: by the intercession of Saint Cuthbert, let your Church continue to grow with an increased number of believers. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
