Behind the scenes of Oremus
The Cathedral monthly magazine is a direct descendant of Westminster Cathedral Chronicle, first published in 1903 – 107 years ago. The Latin name Oremus was chosen some years ago, meaning, of course, ‘Let us pray’.
Today the team that produces Oremus is led by Fr Tim Dean (Editor) and Blandine Tugendhat (Managing Editor). We are fortunate to have the services of Julian Game, a professional Graphic Designer, but all other help comes from volunteers. They are people who care about the Cathedral and are happy to offer skilled help in getting the magazine published. These noble volunteers include:
Natasha Stanic – Features Editor
Sharon Jennings – Parish Correspondent
Dylan Parry – Subscriptions Manager
Mina Im – Accounts
The team also includes Francis Clark, Anne Pugh, Ron Smail and Mary Wright.
Patrick Rogers, our Cathedral historian is a major contributor, month by month.
These voluntary contributions – and the precious time given – are a critical component of the magazine’s continuing success.
The Patron of Oremus is the Archbishop of Westminster and our Chairman is Canon Tuckwell, Administrator of Westminster Cathedral.
Oremus is primarily a Cathedral magazine but it has a supportive, committed readership beyond London and overseas.
Put simply, Oremus tries to reflect the joy of being a Catholic.
