Bishop Marcus will celebrate Mass to mark the canonisation of Bl Oscar Romero, former Archbishop of San Salvador, and six others. Pope Francis stated during Romero's beatification, ‘His ministry was distinguished by his particular attention to the most poor and marginalized.’ It seems fitting that this celebratory broadcast will take place in one of the most deprived areas of West Yorkshire and draw communities together from a diverse range of cultures and backgrounds. The Choirs of Leeds Cathedral, conducted by Benjamin Saunders and accompanied by organist David Pipe, will sing works by Andriessen and Bermudez. Tune in live at 8:10am, BBC RADIO 4 or catch up on BBC iPlayer.
