OULTON ABBEY MASS CANCELLED / SWYNNERTON MASSES

Unfortunately this Sunday's (July 20) Mass has had to be cancelled on health grounds.  The monthly Mass at this lovely Abbey church may be discontinued.  There will not be a Mass in August, but we have not yet given up on the Sept. 21 Mass.

More, but hopefully only brief, concern at Our Lady's, Swynnerton as Fr. Chevasse has to go back to hospital for an operation on his throat on August 12.  Your prayers are very much requested.  Hopefully recuperation will only mean the following 2 or perhaps 3 Sunday Masses are affected.  It is ironic also that Father will not be able to celebrate the Mass for Our Lady of the Assumption, Aug 15.  However I am trying to get replacement priests for all these Masses and I will post messages here and on the LMS National Register as to the position as early as possible.

MASS GOES AHEAD at SWYNNERTON SUNDAY 22 June

 

Good news!  Fr. Chevasse has left hospital and, though he goes back for checks tomorrow, he fully expects to celebrate MASS at SWYNNERTON this Sunday,  22 JUNE at 6 p.m.  

Swynnerton Mass (Corpus Christi 19 June) Cancelled

Unfortunately the Mass for Corpus Christi at Our Lady’s, Swynnerton (near Stone) this Thursday is cancelled.  Fr. Chevasse was taken to hospital last Friday I believe, suffering from a swelling of the throat I am told. We await a decision on next Sunday's usual 6 pm Mass.  Please do not travel for this Mass without checking beforehand.

 

OULTON ABBEY MASS 18 MAY 3pm

The Mass at Oulton Abbey, near Stone, this Sunday (3 pm) will be in memory of Graham Ellis at Fr. Howell's behest (celebrant).  There was a worthy and well-attended Sung Requiem Mass last Thursday at St. Wulstan's, Wolstanton for this stalwart of the Traditional Latin Mass in the North Staffs area.
