During 2019 we developed a broad and deeply engaging programme of services and events and there were some wonderful surprises. We are aiming to maintain that in the coming years. This spring term we have some significant civic occasions, opportunities to enhance your faith through the Lent Course and arts and music to enhance our vision for life in all its fullness. We are growing something special here. I invite you to be part of it. The Very Revd. Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford StPeterBradford BfdCathedral 2020: Year of Cathedrals, Year of Pilgrimage 2020 is a very special year where all the cathedrals will be celebrating what makes cathedrals special, as well as offering pilgrimage routes across the country. A prayer for 2020 Loving God, draw us on the journey to the places of holiness, the places of peace, the places of fellowship, the places of encounter, the places of beauty, the places where faith has been lived, your love made known, your hope held out in the past, for the present, into your future.
