  • POPE BENEDICT XVI PRESS PACK Westminster Cathedral 18 September 2010
    POPE BENEDICT XVI PRESS PACK Westminster Cathedral 18 September 2010 WestVotive Mass of the Precious Blood with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI at Westminster Cathedral His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI will celebrate Mass at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday 18 September at 10am on the third day of his visit to the United Kingdom. As well as celebrating Mass, the Pope will address a crowd of young people gathered outside the Cathedral and address the people of Wales. Mass will be celebrated with Catholic bishops from England, Wales and Scotland. 240 priests will concelebrate the Mass. The congregation will be made up of 1739 people from the Catholic dioceses of England and Wales. The Mass Westminster Cathedral, the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Most Precious Blood, is the Mother Church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. The Mass that will be celebrated on Saturday 18 September will be the Votive Mass of the Precious Blood rather than the regular Mass of the day - this is because the Cathedral is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood. Westminster Cathedral celebrated the 100th anniversary of its consecration centenary in June 2010. A special Mass has been chosen to mark the occasion of the Papal Visit. A gift from the Holy Father After the Introductory Rite and before the Penitential Rite, Archbishop Vincent Nichols will receive a gift from the Holy Father. The Vestments Because the Holy Father is celebrating the Votive Mass of the Precious Blood, he and all the Bishops will wear red vestments. In the Catholic Church, red is worn for the feast days of martyrs (signifying blood), including the Apostles (except John), and also on days focused on Jesus’ death on the cross (e.g.
