Let the Bells Ring Out for Ukraine

Manchester Cathedral will ring its prayer bell from 12noon on Thursday 3 March for seven minutes as an act of solidarity and prayer for Ukraine. We do this together with cathedrals and churches throughout England and the rest of Europe. 

You are also invited to join us for an Inter-Faith Prayer Vigil for Ukraine on Sunday 6 March at 2pm.


With that peal, we declare our solidarity with the people
who have to endure this war and fear for their lives,
who have to organize their resistance against a superior power,
who have to flee the war,
who have the courage to protest against the warmongers in their country, and
who are living in countries directly affected by this war.

With that peal,
we mourn the dead from all the countries involved.
With that peal,
we shall pray for all who are affected by this war.
With that peal,
we shall pray for peace.
And with that peal,
let us express our thanks should the guns have fallen silent by then.
