Welcome to

The annual mass celebrating the Life of St Edmund Arrowsmith, and Veneration of the Holy Hand takes place on Sunday 30th August at 3.00pm. Refreshments are available in the Canons Hall immediately after mass.

For well over 100 years now, St Oswald’s has also been a place of pilgrimage for the relic of St Edmund Arrowsmith’s Holy Hand-Saint and Martyr. The Holy Hand is present on the altar at each Mass and is used in the blessing at the end of Mass: we welcome visitors and also pilgrimage groups by appointment.

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Queenship of Mary.

Catholics celebrate the Queenship of Mary because her Divine Son is King. Pope Pius XII, having declared the dogma of the Assumption, that “the Immaculate Mother of God … was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory,” then established the feast of her Queenship. He set the date for the octave (8th day) after the Solemnity of the Assumption, that is, August 22 each year.
