Commemorated for Commitmentto Service

At the Safeguarding Sunday Mass, Cathedral Dean, Fr Sean Fernandez, included a special celebration of the life of Queen Elizabeth II who passed away on Thursday 8 September at the age of 96.

The late Queen was remembered for her steadfast and unwavering Christian faith, and as someone who dedicated her life to the service of her people in the Commonwealth and promoting the common good. A special Cathedral condolence book was signed by parishioners and visitors, with the Cathedral bells pealed to commemorate the proclamation of King Charles III. At the conclusion of his homily for Safeguarding Sunday, Fr Sean encouraged those present to emulate Queen Elizabeth, who prayed at her 21st birthday speech: “God help me to make good my vow.

And God bless all of you who are willing to share in it.”
