#RedWednesday Holy Mass, London Event

Venue: St George’s RC Cathedral, Lambeth Rd, London SE1 7HY

In June 2025, 200 Christians were massacred by jihadists in Nigeria and the world was silent. The default position of ‘the world’ on the issue of Christian persecution is largely silence. So, once again, #RedWednesday is our chance as Catholics and other Christians to make a stand together in solidarity.

Please join us for Holy Mass this #RedWednesday as we return to St George’s Cathedral for a special evening filled with prayer and music under the glow of red light.

All are welcome to attend or join the livestream.

Celebrant: Rt Rev Bishop Nicholas Hudson, Auxillary Bishop for the Diocese of Westminster 

Homily: Canon Victor Darlington, Episcopal Vicar for Archdiocese of Southwark, South East area
