Saint George's Day 2024

On Tuesday 23 April we gathered at All Saints’ to celebrate Saint George, the patron saint of England with High Mass. Father Diego, celebrant and preacher, was assisted by Father Yenda Smejkal, from St Mary’s Sundon, as deacon, and David Steele, our sacristan, as subdeacon.

The Mass was offered for the benefit of Houghton Regis Town Councillors, the councillors for Dunstable North, and for all those in position of public trust called to lead and represent our local community. It was a great pleasure to welcome our Town Mayor, Cllr Jimmy Carroll, to the Mass along with other councillors. After Mass people were invited to receive a blessing with the relic of St George.

This was the first time in very many years that we celebrated a High Mass at the Parish Church, and we are very grateful to Fr Yeanda for the guidance in the liturgy.
