This evening I attended St. Joseph's Catholic Cathedral where they were holding a mass of thanksgiving to mark the retirement of Bishop Tom Burns who, having reached the age of 75, had handed in his resignation to the Pope.
The service was also attended by the Church in Wales, Archbishop John Davies, Archbishop George Stack, the Archbishop of Cardiff and a large number of clergy from the diocese together with a number of other bishops. Archbishop Stack was installed as Apostolic Administrator until a new Bishop is appointed in due course.
The cathedral was packed with parishioners, as the formal handover was completed, all celebrating the service that Bishop Tom gave to the area.
