On Sunday 12th July there was a Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving for the forthcoming Beatification of our Cardinal, John Henry Newman, followed by the singing of the Te Deum.

It is hard to assess how many people came to the Deanery Corpus Christi procession – but the crowds stretched from one end of Cornmarket to the other. This year for the first time we were accompanied by the Witney Town Band, who included some Maltese processional music in their repetoire.

Here are some pictures of the event by Br Lawrence Lew OP
