Saint George

St George's feast day is normally celebrated on 23rd April, however, this year because the feast day fell on the second Sunday of Easter - Divine Mercy Sunday it was transferred to the Monday.  So today we celebrate the feast of the patron saint of England. 

As we move through the Easter season our young people preparing for confirmation will be thinking about which saint they will choose for their confirmation.  We will be featuring the lives of saints on our parish blog and on the Cathedral Young People's Facebook page. We'd like to hear from parishioners about the saints they chose for confirmation and why they chose that saint ... so please leave information with one of the priests or use our contact form.
