Bishop Nicholas Celebrates First Public Mass at Plymouth Cathedral

In his first public Mass as Bishop of Plymouth at the Cathedral Church of St Mary & St Boniface, on Advent Sunday 30th November 2025, the Right Reverend Nicholas Hudson called for prayers for peace in the land of Jesus’s birth, and for all those places where there is strife and suffering, particularly South Sudan and Ukraine. The bishop also urged the congregation to pray for themselves during Advent, for those nearest and dearest to them and for all those who find themselves in real need.
