Arundel Cathedral will mark its 150th anniversary this weekend with the celebration of Vespers this evening, Friday 30 June, and Mass on Saturday 1 July, attended by the Apostolic Nuncio, Bishops from across England and Wales, and representatives from our parishes and schools.

The Cathedral has commissioned composer Kristina Arakelyan to write an anthem to commemorate the important milestone, with the first performance of the piece due to be given by the Cathedral Choir during the invitation-only anniversary Mass on Saturday. Speaking about the upcoming celebrations, Bishop Richard said:

"The Cathedral of the Diocese... is a focus for prayer, worship and Christian life for the people of Surrey and Sussex and it is a real joy to be able to celebrate this historic event. I look forward to meeting the many pilgrims who will travel to Arundel to mark the anniversary."

Both Vespers and Mass will be livestreamed HERE
