Leeds Cathedral: Pilgrims of Hope
Leeds Cathedral celebrates Pentecost and the Catholic Church's Holy Year of Jubilee with music from the Leeds Diocesan Schools Singing Programme.
Pope Francis declared that 2025 would be a Jubilee Year for Catholics around the world choosing "Pilgrims of Hope" as the theme.
In this celebration of Pentecost from Leeds Cathedral, Monsignor Paul Grogan and young people from the Diocese of Leeds, reflect on what this means, theologically and spiritually, in their lives and in the life of the Church. As Pentecost marks the coming of the Holy Spirit to Jesus' followers, focus is given to the Nicene Creed's assertion 'We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son" in the 1700th anniversary year.
Music is provided by the choirs of Leeds Cathedral and a congregation of 600 young people from Catholic schools across Yorkshire who are part of the Diocesan Schools Singing Programme. The choirs are directed by Elizabeth Leather and Roland Mander and the organists are Darius Battiwalla and Frankie Tempest.
