You are warmly invited to join the three Dioceses of Brentwood, Southwark and Westminster for the 20th annual Mass for Migrants on Bank Holiday Monday, 4th May 2026, at St Antony of Padua Catholic Church, starting at 12pm with a procession of banners.

This year, the Mass is hosted by the Diocese of Brentwood. The Mass for the Feast of St Joseph the Worker is prepared by the Caritas and Ethnic Chaplaincies of the three Dioceses and celebrates the contributions made to faith, life and work in the UK by all those who come from other countries to make a home here.

Our preacher will be Archbishop Richard Moth, and our celebrant will be Bishop Alan Williams, sm.

Music will be provided by Nathan Chan and students from St Antony’s Catholic Primary School, St Bonaventure’s Catholic Secondary School and St Angela’s Ursuline School.

We will also be joined by community organisers from Citizens UK.

Please do come along and bring the family, whether you are from a migrant background or not – all are welcome! It is a joyful and celebratory occasion, providing a wonderful chance to embrace our communities. Everyone is invited to wear their national dress.

Banner bearers are invited to gather in preparation at St Bonaventure’s Secondary School at 11:15 am, ready for the procession to begin at 12pm.

Parish and Catholic organisations are welcome to bring banners for the procession, please contact: [email protected]
