HUNDREDS of worshippers from across Britain will honour a York saint tomorrow when they attend the first Latin High Mass to be heard at York Minster since the Reformation.
The service at the High Altar of the cathedral to celebrate the life of St Margaret Clitherow comes less than a year after Protestants and Catholics marked the 40th anniversary of her canonisation with a service St Martin le Grand Church, in Coney Street.
The mass will be followed by a procession to English Martyrs’ RC Church, in Dalton Terrace, for a benediction service.
It will cross Ouse Bridge where the saint died on Good Friday 1586.
Father Stephen Maughan will lead the Minster service and the Rudgate Singers will sing Byrd’s Mass in Five Voices.
