Westminster Cathedral anniversary Mass
On 12 October 2026, we marked our 40th anniversary with a special Mass at Westminster Cathedral. His Eminence Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop Emeritus of Westminster presided. The Right Reverend James Curry, Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster concelebrated with others.
Watch the video to hear what some of our guests thought is special about the Centre.
Two hundred guests joined the Mass
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the event. Guests included our co-founders Sister Maria Parcher and Father Peter Corcoran, Dr Mary Hickey who established a GP surgery dedicated to people experiencing homelessness in the basement of the Cardinal Hume Centre shortly after the family centre was set up, which is still very busy today.
We were also pleased so many current and former staff members, and supporters old and new came to mark the occasion.
