This evening the Icon was solemnly received and venerated by Canon Gerry Breen Adminstrator of St Chads cathedral Birmingham.
Later Solemn Vespers were presided over by the Russian and Romanian Orthodox clergy and brethren. During this profoundly moving liturgy which was witnessed by many Orthodox and Catholic faithful the Russian Orthodox priest spoke authoritatively and with deep gratitude to their "Catholic brothers" for the invitation and welcome extended to the Orthodox communities within Birmingham Archdiocese to venerate the Mother of God together in a Catholic cathedral.

Our Lady of Czestochowa arrived exactly at 4pm to a gracious and loving welcome from the faithful. The Shrine Director, Fr. Alan Williams welcomed her into the Slipper Chapel - place of the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady in England where she was incensed and the Salve Regina was sung. It was poignant that Our Lady, coming with a Mission in defence of life, family and marriage, should have her first stop here in Walsingham.
