Our 5th day of the Christmas Octave is a commemoration of St Thomas Beckett who was an English Bishop and Martyr. A day to send good wishes to those called Thomas.
To learn a little more about this saint and martyr who is patron of Diocesan Priests. We remember the many priests who have served us as a Cathedral Parish and all the priests of our Diocese.
Father, you confirm the true faith with the crown of martyrdom.
May the prayers of St Thomas Becket give us the courage to proclaim our faith by the witness of our lives. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
… St Thomas Becket, Pray for Us …
