This is one reason why it is so important that the Church gives us words from Mary in today’s Gospel. When Mary spoke these words proclaimed in the Liturgy, Jesus had not even been born. She was a young woman who was motivated by justice. God was on her side and she foresaw a great reversal. How, then, did she react upon Jesus’ death? We know she remained with the Disciples up to and including Pentecost. Her faith never seems to have been shaken. She seems to have been prepared for the ultimate reversal from death to life during her entire life. Let us, too, live this Paschal Mystery as Mary did.

So far, there has been a lot of interest in this lovely house which stands in the grounds of Saint John of Beverley Church, Haydon Bridge. If it is still on the market and you, or someone you know, might be interested in renting this property, please access the following link: www.belvoir.co.uk/properties/13073580/lettings/north-bank-haydon-bridge IMPORTANT REMINDER In line with Government recommendations, a face covering or mask should now be worn whilst in church. This includes during Mass or any other church service. There are some circumstances, for example for health, age or equality reasons, where people are not expected to wear face coverings. These circumstances will always be respected. Some people are less able to wear face coverings, and the reasons for this may not be visible to others. SAINT OSWIN It is the Feast Day of Saint Oswin on Wednesday 19th August 2020. In the political upheaval caused by King Oswald’s death in 641, his precarious kingdom of Northumbria disintegrated. This allowed Oswin - a relative of the former king Edwin - to regain control of Deira, its southern part, while Oswald’s half-brother Oswy, held on to its northern half, Bernica. Oswin proved to be a popular ruler, who worked as successfully with Saint Aidan as had Oswald. Saint Bede tells us that he was courteous in manner and generous to all, and “among his other qualities of virtue and moderation the greatest was humbleness.” In an effort to consolidate his position against the enemies who had overthrown Oswald, Oswy eventually invaded Deira, conniving at Oswin’s murder, the news of which brought about the death of Aidan twelve days later, in August 651. Oswin always popularly regarded as a martyr, was later buried at Tynemouth. CONFESSIONS PLEASE PRAY FOR THE RECENTLY The times for Private Confession with Fr.

THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF SAINT MARY Friday 21st August 2020 is the anniversary of the dedication of Saint Mary’s Cathedral, Newcastle upon Tyne. The Cathedral Church of Saint Mary is the Catholic cathedral in Newcastle upon Tyne, the mother church of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, and seat of the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle. The Cathedral, situated on Clayton Street, was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin and built between 1842 and 1844. The Cathedral is a grade I listed building and a fine example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture championed by Pugin. There is a monument dedicated to Cardinal Basil Hume in the Monument Garden outside of the cathedral, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. Saint Mary's Cathedral is the sixth tallest structure in the city. Saint Mary's Church opened in August 1844, paid for largely through halfpenny subscriptions from the community of poor immigrants on Tyneside. The stained glass in the Great East Window, Lady Chapel and Blessed Sacrament Chapel, were done by William Wailes in 1843 to designs provided by Pugin. By decree of Pope Pius IX on 29 September 1850, the Catholic hierarchy was restored on a regular pattern to England and Wales. Much of what had been known as the Vicariate Apostolic of the Northern District became the new See of Hexham. Bishop William Hogarth was appointed to be the first bishop of the new diocese, and as such, required a church in which to place his seat or cathedra. Saint Mary's was chosen for this purpose and thus it gained the status of a cathedral church in 1850, becoming the first cathedral in Newcastle, as the Anglican St. Nicholas' Cathedral didn't become a cathedral until 1882. On 21st August 1860, the Cathedral was dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. The name of the see was changed in 1861 to Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. Since then, eleven further bishops have been installed in St Mary's as Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle. With a bequest from the estate of Elizabeth Dunn, in 1872 a tower and steeple designed by Dunn & Hansom were added. Under the careful guidance of the Reverend Peter Leighton, the Cathedral underwent a thorough period of renovation restoring much of the beauty of the original design. Phase one of the work was completed in September 2010 and phase two of the work, which included the installation of a new three-manual Kenneth Tickell organ of 46 stops, was completed in February 2013. On the 4th February 2019, Pope Francis announced that Bishop Robert Byrne C.O. was to be the fourteenth Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle. Bishop Byrne previously served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Birmingham, and was also a member of the Oratory the St. Philip Neri at Birmingham Oratory.

  • King's Sutton Parish Church St. Peter and St. Paul the Windows
    King’s Sutton Parish Church St. Peter and St. Paul The Windows 50p THE WINDOWS OF THE CHURCH OF SS PETER AND PAUL KING’S SUTTON There are few original windows in the church, for the building has been rebuilt, and enlarged, several times. The oldest structure is the chancel, of the 12th century but the windows here to north and south, are 14th century with some restoration by Sir Gilbert Scott in the 19thcentury. The small one on the south side probably dates from the 19th century restoration too, and the east window, a perpendicular design, is also by Scott. The nave windows are largely of the 14th century when the two aisles were widened. The east and west windows on the north side were truncated when the roof was lowered in the 18th century. The west window of the tower has had its lower portion hidden by the roof of the west porch. It is interesting that the western parts of the aisles have no windows to north or south. And none of the porches has windows. The clerestory windows, high in the nave, probably date from the early 16th century. It is likely that in the medieval period all the windows in the church would have been filled with coloured glass, but all this has gone. As we shall see some of the present plain glass is of the 16th century, which might suggest that it was then, at the time of the Reformation, that the medieval glass was removed. But generally speaking most destruction of glass took place during the time of Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century.

  • 'Stained Glass Windows'
    St John’s is fortunate to have a first-class collection of 19th and 20th century ‘Stained Glass Windows’. Research was undertaken to establish as much of the story behind each window as possible. This research continues but the following represents the facts as understood at the time of writing in 2005. 1 Nave North West Window, 1939 - opposite the entrance porch - “Adoration of the Magi” - shows the three wise men bringing gifts to the infant Jesus. Above are angel musicians with long trumpets and dulcimers. There is a Latin inscription towards the foot of the window, "QUIA NATUS EST VOBIS SALVATOR" (He was born as your Saviour). To the memory of William Topham Moss and Ann his wife. This window was placed here by their son Dennis Topham Moss Installed in 1939 by H A Green & Sons of Ripon, this window was created by Morris and Co which held a leading place in English stained-glass design from the early 1860s. Sir Edward Burne-Jones had been one of the principal designers although his real fame was achieved as a painter in oils. Morris & Co had also been involved in a number of other ventures including interior design, printing and other crafts. When Morris died at the end of the 19th century the various parts of the venture went their separate ways. The stained-glass workshop retaining the Morris name, was run by J H Dearle who had been its manager in the last years of Morris and Burn-Jones; he was also a fine (if wholly derivative) designer in his own right.

  • New Windows for the Catholic Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, Fairford (2003) by Richard Barton (Copyright)
    Parish logo designed by Maggi Fitzpatrick New Windows for the Catholic Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, Fairford (2003) by Richard Barton (copyright) The little Catholic Parish Church of St Thomas of Canterbury was erected in 1845 and on the day of its solemn opening the only stained glass window in the church was the triple lancet one above the altar. Now there is a collection of fifteen stained glass windows and they represent the changing fashions and styles of nearly 160 years and are the work of at least seven different artists. These include John Hardman of Birmingham, Jones & Willis, Geoffrey Robinson of Joseph Bell & Sons of Bristol, Daniella Wilson Dunne of the Brewery Arts Centre in Cirencester and Sarianne Durie of Lechlade Mill. The first windows are signed and dated ‘W.W. 1845’ and is the work of William Wailes of Newcastle- upon-Tyne. At this time, Wailes was carrying out many commissions for Augustus Welby Pugin. The two small quatrefoil windows are the most recent in the church and were commissioned in 2002 and designed by Sarianne Durie of Lechlade Mill. The one above the altar portrays the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove holding an olive twig in its mouth. The other depicts the Eye of God within a triangle, surrounded by a circle and with radiating rays of light. This is a late Renaissance symbol of the infinite holiness of the Triune God who is all knowing, all seeing, and ever present. The Feast of the Holy and Undivided Trinity was especially popular in 1 England in the twelfth century perhaps through its association with St Thomas of Canterbury who was consecrated bishop on that day in 1162.

With our help and with your support they are kept open and in use – living once again at the heart of their communities. About All Souls Church This magnificent Victorian church was commissioned by notable local industrialist Edward Akroyd in 1856. Akroyd was deeply concerned by the growing rift between social classes and hoped his church would help bring people together. Akroyd’s statue now stands immediately to the west of the churchyard. The church was meant to be the centrepiece of a model village called ‘Akroydon’, but the scheme floundered because those on lower incomes could not afford Akroyd’s housing.

  • Art Or Articles of Trade: Appreciating Variety in Nineteenth-Century Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Martin Crampin
    Art or Articles of Trade: Appreciating Variety in Nineteenth-Century Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Martin Crampin The vast quantity and variety of nineteenth-century stained glass presents serious challenges to those who would venture to make generalizations about it. The 1850s and 1860s saw a rapid expansion in demand, and the popularity of the Gothic Revival as an architectural style, particularly for churches, resulted in the establishment of a multitude of firms mak- ing stained glass in towns and cities across Britain. Their output ranged from patterned windows with geometric and foliate decoration to large pictorial works, and was produced by teams of skilled designers, cartoon- ists, painters, glaziers, and technicians. Tens of thousands of windows were produced for churches alone, but a tiny proportion has been studied in any detail. Much has not even been dated and attributed. While the names of some nineteenth-century stained glass designers are well known, notably William Morris (1834–1896) and his friend Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898), as well as the architect A. W. N. Pugin (1812–1852), they are more commonly celebrated for their work in other artistic media. By con- trast, the names of equally important designers of the medium — William Wailes (1808–1881), John Hardman Powell (1827–1895), John Richard Clayton (1827–1913), Charles Eamer Kempe (1837–1907), Henry Holiday (1839–1927), and Christopher Whall (1849–1924) — are familiar to enthu- siasts of the medium and as names in the Pevsner architectural guides, but are unlikely to attract crowds of admirers to a retrospective exhibition. The neglect of stained glass and its designers and makers as a subject for study has its roots in nineteenth-century debates about the boundaries between art, craft, industry, and business.1 The status of stained glass as an art was questioned by those that perceived it as an industrial process, and the sheer quantity that was produced inevitably bowed to commercial con- straints.

  • We Offer Between Two and Four Choral Scholarships to Post A-Level
    JUNIOR STAINED GLASS GLAZIER/CONSERVATOR APPLICATION PACK St. Hugh of Lincoln. © Lincoln Cathedral 1 Overview John Ruskin, the great Victorian art historian and critic, described Lincoln as “the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth two of any other Cathedrals we have” The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln (to give it its proper title) is first and foremost a church, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln and a centre of worship and mission. A minimum of three services takes place each day of the year and at least one of which is usually sung by the Cathedral’s renowned choir. It is the principal church of Lincolnshire and holds many of the county-wide services of celebration, commemoration and memorial. There is a real richness and variety in the way the Cathedral building is used. Significant musical, dramatic events take place, whether it is a visit from the Halle Orchestra; a performance of the 70’s musical Jesus Christ Superstar; Mystery Plays; or international pop musician Ian Anderson, of Jethro Tull fame, coming to perform. Also there is an active lecture series each year with key speakers offering their insight into current and historical affairs. West View of Lincoln Cathedral. ©Lincoln Cathedral Lincoln Cathedral is a place of pilgrimage, where people come to seek God, to learn more about faith, or to take time out of a busy day for quiet reflection. It is a place of welcome and hospitality where all of any faith or no faith are encouraged to feel at home.
