On Holocaust memorial Day 2021 the theme is 'Be the Light in the Darkness'.
"It is for all people, all generations."
"We can each in our own way, be the light that ensures that the darkness can never return."
We are invited to light a candle in our windows at 8pm tonight to reflect on this memorial day.

On the day government figures recorded 100,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the United Kingdom, Cardinal Vincent said:
'A day of great sadness all over the land. So many people, families, communities, remembering those who have died in these terrible months of the pandemic. Each one is mourned. Each one is to be prayed for.
'This is our instinct, our faith, our practice. Our prayer is rooted in the faith that, in death, life is changed, not ended, for the promise of eternal life opens the door of hope even in our darkest moments.
'I pray for each and everyone, those who have died, those who mourn, those who serve. Please, please, join me in prayer.'
Join Cardinal Vincent in prayer this evening at the 5.30pm Mass, livestreamed from Westminster Cathedral. Watch the livestream at www.westminstercathedral.org.uk
