BBC R4 Sunday Worship: Pentecost Pilgrims of Hope

June 8, 2025 @ 8:10 am - 8:50 am

Presenting the BBC Radio 4 ‘Sunday Worship’ programme for Pentecost at 8.10am will be Episcopal Vicar for Education, Fr Paul Grogan – with hymns and choral music from the Choirs of Leeds Cathedral and a congregation of 600 young people from Catholic schools across Yorkshire who are part of the Diocesan Schools Singing Programme.

The choirs are directed by Elizabeth Leather and Roland Mander and the organists are Darius Battiwalla and Frankie Tempest.

Other than Fr Paul, none of the on-air contributors to the programme is over the age of 18!

The all-schools line-up includes reflections on pilgrimage from St Wilfrid’s Catholic Secondary Academy student and member of The Twelve, Ellie-Louise – and from Connie, a student at Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College who is discerning a vocation to the religious life. The prayers are led by Esosa from St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School in Leeds, who is also  this year’s Leeds Children’s Mayor.

Tune into BBC R4 at 8.10am or listen to the recording which will be available via BBC Sounds for 30 days.
