The Easter Blessing of Food (Święcone)

The Winchester Catholic History Society welcomes Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe for an evening of faith and reflection at Winchester College, drawing on his experience as a Dominican friar, theologian and Church leader.

We warmly welcome everyone of all faiths and none to experience St Peter’s Church transformed into a place of beauty, hope and wonder through illuminations, live music, quiet reflection and community hospitality, celebrating the rich heritage of the parish. This event is an invitation to encounter joy, belonging and inspiration as part of A Place for All.

Candlemas, celebrated on 2 February, marks the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and is a feast of light and hope, symbolising Christ as the light of the world. This celebration also launches St Peter’s Centenary year under the themes Light of the World and A Place for All.
