Last year we were in Lancaster, for the National Mass at Lancaster Cathedral, celebrated by Bishop Paul Swarbrick, on a glorious, warm, spring day with hundreds of servers from all over the county in attendance. It was a great occasion to celebrate our ministry, vocation and service to the church and one another. In his Homily at his Installation Mass, Archbishop Moth said:
“The time we have is a gift from God and He calls us, very simply, to use this gift in Service. May our parish communities, our schools, our chaplaincies [...] grow as a School of the Lord’s Service, service of the One who died and rose from the dead for us and Service of those whom we encounter. ”
