Liverpool to host Knights’ Biennial Memorial Mass

Here in Liverpool, we are looking forward to welcoming all brothers and their families to our Biennial Memorial Mass, which is taking place on Saturday 10 June at the Metropolitan Cathedral.

It promises to be a wonderful and spiritual occasion on which members of the Knights of Saint Columba from far and wide will come together to remember and pray for the souls of those who have gone before us.

All too quickly on such occasions, once the Mass is over we go our separate ways until the next time. This time, therefore, we have put together a small programme of events over the Memorial weekend. We sincerely hope that as many brothers and their families as possible are able to join us, starting on Friday 9 June – the feast of St Columba – with our Province 2 annual gala dinner held in the presence of supreme knight Harry Welsh, Archbishop Malcolm McMahon, our national spiritual advisor Bishop Tom Neylon and Tom Williams, the Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus. This will take place at the Liner Hotel on Lord Nelson Street which was the venue for the KSC’s supreme conference in October 2021.

This will be followed the next day by the main event of the weekend, the Biennial Memorial Mass for deceased brothers at the Cathedral at 3pm when the chief celebrant will be Archbishop Malcolm. Light refreshments will be served at the end of Mass in the Gibberd Room. Later, on Saturday, at 7.30pm there will be an informal dinner, again held at the Liner Hotel.

It is very pleasing to have our province again hosting a major national event and, in particular, the Biennial Mass. It a great honour for the order that since its opening, the Cathedral has always provided the venue for KSC Memorial Masses.
