Sunday was our last Cathedral Choir day of the academic year - a year packed with not only the daily sung Vespers and Masses, but so much fun and achievement across the choirs, very well done to all our young singers!

Our Bradford and Huddersfield Catholic Youth Choirs had a fantastic pilgrimage to Lourdes and Paris, singing for many Masses and liturgies for the Diocese's pilgrims. A huge thank you to everyone who supported us and helped make this unforgettable experience possible.
