Happy New Year: A Hymn of praise

Health and Happiness for 2026 

Te Deum: We praise thee O God

Today we celebrate the Feast of Mary Mother of God.  In the Office of Readings, the Te Deum is sung. This reminds us of the beautiful stained glass window at the back of the Cathedral. It gives praise to the Trinity, to Christ and prayers for the people. We see Mary with hands uplifted and above her Son Christ the King sitting on a throne surrounded by communion of saints and angels. Below a video of the Te Deum in Latin with English translation as we give thanks to God for all he has given us.
