Services & Music List Canterbury Cathedral June 2022
WELCOME June is a month of great celebration. Along with the lengthening days and the warming weather (we hope!) the Church marks the great series of feasts that come at the end of Eastertide. On Pentecost we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church as the fire that drives us on and the water that refreshes our spiritual thirst. Following this, Trinity Sunday is the great celebration of the eternal God, at the heart of whose very being is loving relationship. In turn, the feast of Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) marks the fact that this eternal and powerful God makes himself present and available to us in the most tangible possible way. While the institution of the Eucharist that we mark on Maundy Thursday takes place in the shadows of the betrayal and sufferings of Holy Week, this summer feast has a more celebratory tone: a day of thanksgiving for the inexpressible gift of the Eucharist, in which Christ offers himself to us each day in the form of bread to feed us and sustain us on our journey. Of course, amidst all these great ecclesiastical feasts, June 2022 brings one great national celebration as well. Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, marking the 70th anniversary of her reign, will be an occasion to give thanks for the steadfastness, spirit of service, and quiet dignity which have made her such a figure of encouragement and stability in a changing and often anxious world. The Jubilee will be marked by many local and national events, and will be celebrated in the Cathedral on Sunday 5 June, both at the main Civic Pentecost Eucharist in the morning and at Evensong in the afternoon. In June we also hope to welcome our Interim Dean, the Very Reverend Dr Jane Hedges (until recently Dean of Norwich). We very much look forward to having Dr Hedges as part of our community and learning from the wisdom and gifts that she will bring to the Cathedral, during the six months or so that she will be with us.

MUSIC
Visiting Choirs
Kent College Choristers come from Kent College, Canterbury. They have had
much success in various national competitions, having been finalists several times in
BBC Songs of Praise Young Choir of the Year and most recently winners
of Barnardo’s National Junior Choir of the Year 2022. They also tour abroad, and
have sung in a number of European Cathedrals. Many of the Choristers have been
selected for the Cathedral Girls’ Choir, including two present members.
The Gundulf Consort is a new ad hoc group of experienced church musicians
based in Rochester, formed primarily to act as a cathedral visiting choir.
Lees Court Music is a Canterbury based chamber choir which sings as a visiting
choir at English Cathedrals, at weddings & events, and in concerts in small country
churches in Kent in support of local fund-raising.
