BBC One - Songs of Praise, Isle of Wight

Aled Jones visits the Isle of Wight, meeting Christians on land and at sea.

Aled Jones visits the Isle of Wight, meeting Christians on land and at sea, while Kate Bottley is in Birmingham on the day Cardinal Newman becomes a saint.

Aled Jones travels to the Isle of Wight, famous for music festivals, yacht racing and as the family home of Queen Victoria.

On the day that Cardinal John Newman is declared a saint, the Rev Kate Bottley finds out all about him by visiting one of his enduring legacies, the Oratory in Birmingham, and she talks to members of the Catholic church about the significance of his canonisation to Christians everywhere.

Aled takes to the sea around the Isle of Wight with Christian sailing couple Rick and Angie Ganley, whose adventures at sea have brought them closer to God. Rick tells the story of how his faith helped him through a near death experience, and both reflect on the peace and proximity to God they enjoy whilst out on the water.

Also in the programme we hear from a Christian who lives on the Isle of Wight and has dedicated her life to writing and illustrating books about Jesus for children. We learn about the history of Northwood House, which was transformed from a luxurious summer residence into a stately home and then into a sanctuary for an exiled order of nuns and the wounded of two world wars. 

There’s congregational singing from the grounds of Northwood House and two hymns written by Cardinal John Newman, to mark the day of his canonisation.
