The Mass for the Ministry of Acolyte was celebrated on the 12th March 2014. His Grace Bernard Longley, Archbishop of Birmingham presided and conferred the Ministry of Acolyte on eleven candidates. It was a joyous occasion, followed by a fitting festive meal afterwards.

Vincent Cardinal Nichols gave thanks for his creation as a cardinal by joining the Beda College and many others to celebrate Mass at St Paul outside the Walls. This was a happy occasion, infused by joy and good wishes from priests, students, staff and guests.
