On Sunday Southwark Cathedral’s Evensong was sung at Southwark’s St George’s Roman Catholic Cathedral to mark the end of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

The service was simultaneous with a Unity Vespers at Rome’s Basilica of St Paul outside the Walls where Pope Leo presided.

At St George’s the Dean of Southwark preached and a combined choir provided the music.

Roman Catholic Vespers will be sung by the choirs at Southwark Cathedral on Sunday afternoon 21 June.

St George’s Cathedral is an additional starting point for pilgrims to Canterbury. The Roman Catholic cathedral has the Oscar Romero national shrine.

Pilgrims can follow the short Romero Way from St George’s Cathedral to Southwark Cathedral for the ancient beginning of the Pilgrims’ Way to Canterbury.
