Cardinal to Celebrate Mass at St Mary's Patronal Feast Day

His Eminence Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop Emeritus of Westminster, will celebrate Mass at the Patronal Feast Day of St Mary’s University, Twickenham on Tuesday 8^th December at 1pm. Every year the University welcomes the local community, students, alumni and staff to celebrate mass for its Patron Saint, St Mary. The Mass will be followed by a complimentary celebration lunch in the University’s refectory. University Chaplain Fr Benedict Jonak OP said, “We are honoured to welcome to St Mary’s Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor who will preside at Holy Mass. Our Patron Saint is very special; the Mother of Christ, whose coming into the world we celebrate at Christmas. As we prepare for our Feast Day and for the Christmas season, we do so in the spirit of openness, welcoming and genuine care for each other. We are thankful for what we have and are prepared to share with those who are disadvantaged, asking our Patron to support us in all that we do.” Free tickets are available from the Chaplaincy Centre, if you would like to attend please contact Kerry Anzollitto on 020 8240 4331 or email Kerry.anzollitto@stmarys.ac.uk.
