A select congregation including the Pope’s personal representative, Archbishop Faustino Sainz Munoz, and around 30 bishops of England and Wales were at the Mass in which £2million of restoration work was seen for the first time.
The 15-month project has seen the 102-year-old building sympathetically restored to be more in keeping with its Edwardian roots.
The Bishop of Leeds, the Rt Rev Arthur Roche, presided over Mass and dedicated the new altar, placing the relics of two Yorkshire martyrs inside.
