2:15pm Procession from Carfax to the site of the martyrdom of Blessed George Napier in Oxford Castle, and back to Blackfriars
Blessed George Napier, after whom a local Catholic school is named, died in 1610 after serving the Catholics of the area for many years. His friends' hopes of securing a pardon for him were dashed when a highwayman being hanged revealed that he had been received into the Catholic Church while imprisoned with Fr Napier in Oxford Castle. He was hanged on the Castle gallows, where a steel plaque commemorates him. The plaque was blessed by Archbishop Longley during the LMS Oxford Pilgrimage in 2008.
