I imagine every Cathedral in the country had to solve the problem of Rome’s scheduling the closing celebration for the Year of Mercy on Remembrance Sunday. Bishop John had to be elsewhere in the morning, so we gathered in the evening to close the Holy Door. The musical fare included Paul Inwood’s official hymn for the jubilee year, and (by request) our take on the official hymn for World Youth Day 2016.
