A new chapel at St Benedict's, Ealing, west London was dedicated on the school's patronal feast day, 21 March. The Dedication of the Chapel of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was conducted by the Rt Rev John Wilson, Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster and Titular Bishop of Lindesfarne, who was also the Principal Celebrant at the whole school Mass in honour of St Benedict, in the Abbey Church.

The Dedication was attended by the Mayor of Ealing Cllr Dr Patricia Walker, and people who had been involved in the chapel's design and construction: Sophie D'Souza the artist who had made the stained glass window, designed by a pupil; Lachlan McDonald, the builder, and Bruno Ormsby, the designer of the chapel's oak furniture.

School Chaplain Fr Alexander Bevan, the Headmaster Andrew Johnson, Headmaster of the Junior School Rob Simmons and governors Brian Taylor and Chris Field also attended. The St Benedict's Consort Choir sang Bruckner's Locus Iste and Mozart's Ave Verum.

Bishop Wilson said: "The spirit of St Benedict infuses the life of this prestigious school. May this new chapel inspire the young people at St Benedict's with the faith, peace and holiness of their patron, our Holy Father St Benedict."
