Remembrance Sunday – Westminster Cathedral

The annual Solemn Requiem Mass for the Fallen took place in Westminster Cathedral on Remembrance Sunday, 9th November, with His Eminence Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, as the Principal Celebrant, and Fr Robert Matau Royal Navy, a Concelebrant, who gave the homily. There was a good representation of uniformed personnel from all three Services with the Royal Navy this year providing the readers and personnel for the offertory procession and a trumpeter from the Scots Guards playing the Last Post and Reveille.

​

After the Mass, Service personnel met the Cardinal in the Sacristy for photographs and Fr Robert presented the Cardinal with a Church Pennant to mark the Cardinal’s 80th birthday and his retirement as Archbishop.
