12th November 2026
It's our 100th birthday and we are celebrating!
After a year of celebrations today, November 12, is our 100th birthday!
November 12 is our actual anniversary date - 100 years since we were founded.
Tonight at 7.30pm in Blackburn Cathedral - also 100 years old today - there will be a celebration with people from parishes and schools from across Lancashire joining with civic and community leaders for a special service.
All places for the service are now booked but if you haven't got a ticket you can still watch on the livestream.
The livestream will be available on the Blackburn Cathedral YouTube channel here (or embedded below) and will remain there as a recording after the service to catch up on.
Happy 100th birthday Blackburn Diocese and Blackburn Cathedral!
You can follow proceedings using the Centenary Celebration Order of Service which is here for download.
