Missa Canata Eve Mass for Feast of Immaculate Conception

Fr. Dykes is arranging a Missa Cantata for the Eve Mass of the Immaculate Conception at St. Wulstan's Church, Wolstanton at 7 pm.  Many of you will know the choir is splendid and the singers (mostly teenagers) were in good form for the Feast of All Souls.  It is also the Mass for the First Friday of the month.

Later in the month there will be a traditional Mass at 11 am for the Feast of St. Thomas of Canterbury (Dec. 29) but this year it is likely to be a Low Mass.

MASS at OULTON ABBEY at 3pm on Sunday Dec. 9 is in the listings as a Sung Mass, but it may by Low.  We shall know closer to the time.

WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL ANNUAL REQUIEM 17 Nov.

I am happy to report there was quite a good attendance for the Annual Requiem Mass for deceased members of the LMS last Saturday afternoon.  Bishop Arnold was the celebrant and gave the homily before officiating over ceremonies around the catafalque at the end of Mass.  Committee members laid a wreath at the grave of Cardinal Heenan in recognition of his importance in the long struggle to get the Traditional Rite re-established.  The indefatigable Fr. de Mallarey was Assistant Priest, and Fr. Leworthy his former confrere in the FSSP and replacement for Fr. Southwell at Clapham Park while he is on sabbatical in Rome, assisted at Holy Communion.

ALL SOULS MASS & UPDATE

The All Souls Mass at St. Wulstan's, Wolstanton on Friday 2 Nov at 7 pm is planned to be a SUNG Mass.  The OULTON ABBEY Mass (Low) is now on Nov 18 at 3 p.m., not the 25th.

The Annual Requiem Mass for LMS Members is on Nov. 17th. at 2 p.m. at Westminster Cathedral, London.  The celebrant will be Bp. Arnold

Martyn McGettigan who does the bulk of the work on this website is currently on a several months' teaching stint in Japan, on the outskirts of Tokyo.  Remarkably, he is able to get to a Trad. Latin Mass each Sunday.  Hope he won't mind my mentioning that there are a couple of photos in the current (Summer No. 15) FSSP quarterly Dowry of him serving Mass and carrying the Cross on the recent Ely-Walsingham pilgrimage.

The list for the December Masses will be published during November.  A copy of the next three months' Masses can be obtained by e-mail from the rep: alan.jfrost@btinternet.com

LMS Press Release: Pilgrimage to Walsingham

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE LATIN MASS SOCIETY

For Immediate Release

Bishop Mark Davies attends Solemn Mass to mark end of LMS Pilgrimage to Walsingham

Bishop Mark Davies of Shrewsbury preached at the Solemn Mass offered to mark the end of the Latin Mass Society’s 3^rd Annual Walking Pilgrimage to Walsingham on Sunday, 26 August. The Mass was celebrated by Canon Olivier Meney, ICKSP, with Fr Bede Rowe (the pilgrimage chaplain) as Deacon and Fr John Cahill as Sub-Deacon. Gregorian Chant was provided throughout the pilgrimage by a schola assembled from amongst the walking pilgrims and directed by Matthew Schellhorn, who is also our Local Representative for Southwark North.

Around 70 people took part in the three-day, 55-mile walk from Ely in Cambridgeshire to the Slipper Chapel in Walsingham, which was offered for the conversion of England.

The pilgrimage began with Sung Mass, celebrated by Fr Cahill, offered on the Friday morning at St Etheldreda’s Catholic Church, Ely. The MC was Rev James Mawdsley, one of the English seminarians studying with the FSSP. Mass was followed by the traditional Pilgrims’ Blessing given by Fr Rowe. A visit was then paid to Ely Anglican Cathedral to prayer for the conversion of our separated brethren. By the end of the afternoon, the pilgrims had been blessed with beautiful sunshine and had reached their first billet at Stoke Ferry near King’s Lynn.

Sung Mass on Saturday morning was in the family chapel at Oxburgh Hall, a fifteenth-century moated manor house, which, although now owned by the National Trust, is still lived in by the Bedingfield family whose ancestors built it. Oxburgh has a long history as a centre of recusancy and boasts its own priest’s hole, which pilgrims were given the chance to visit after Mass.

The pilgrims continued through Saturday, praying the Rosary, singing hymns and songs, and getting absolutely soaked through as the heavens opened and thunder and lightning let loose on the Norfolk landscape. By the time the procession of pilgrims reached Harpley village, their Saturday evening stop, spirits had recovered somewhat, which was further aided by a visit to the Rose and Crown pub in the village.

Sunday saw the last leg of the pilgrimage and the tired pilgrims reached their destination of the Slipper Chapel. They were joined by a coach full of people who had travelled from London for the day to attend the final Mass in the Chapel of Reconciliation at the National Catholic Shrine. Following Mass, Bishop Davies gave his blessing (in Latin) to the pilgrims.

The statue of Our Lady of Walsingham, which had been carried throughout the final day of the pilgrimage led the procession of well over a hundred people along the Holy Mile to the grounds and ruins of Walsingham Abbey, the site of the Holy House of Nazareth, built by the Lady Richeldis in 1061 and which, like the abbey, was destroyed under Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries. Prayers of thanksgiving were offered by Fr Bede Rowe followed by veneration of the statue of Our Lady.

LMS General Manager, Mike Lord, said: ‘This year’s pilgrimage was the most successful yet, with the number of participants rising to 70 from last year’s total of 30. This is very encouraging. Several family groups joined us, which we were delighted about and, although most pilgrims were young people, there was a good spread of ages. Everyone was most impressed by two ladies aged 84 and 86 who completed the walk.

‘We are very grateful to Bishop Davies for agreeing to attend in choro for the Solemn Mass and for preaching. There are many other people who put in many hours of work to make this event the great success it turned out to be and we would like to thank them all.

‘We hope that our pilgrimage, with the many prayers and personal sacrifices of the pilgrims, and the Masses offered up during the three days, will bring many graces upon England and assist in its conversion.’

Oulton Abbey - further change to Mass Date

The date for ther next Mass at Oulton Abbey has had to be put back and is not now on the 9 Sept.
Instead it is at 3 pm. on Sunday 30 Sept.  It is probably worthwhile to confirm this close to the day.

Changed Date Mass at Oulton Abbey There will NOT be a Mass at Oulton Abbey on August 26th. However there will be a Mass a fortnight later at 3 pm on Sept. 9th. Mother Benedicta is happy for us now to have a Traditional Mass each month, but it is not feasible to keep it to the fourth Sunday each month. The LMS will keep you informed (in advance!) of the date for the Mass each upcoming month.

FR. JOSEPH TYNAN - HEALTH REPORT- LOSS OF MASSES

Fr. Tynan, who has offered the Traditional Rite for us for a number of years recently suffered a mild stroke and was hospitalized.  It seriously affected his vision.  He is now out of hospital and at home, being cared for by his sister, Rita, and is on a programme to monitor his peripheral vision which has recovered a little.  He remains his old chirpy self overall, but he is not able for to celebrate his usual Masses at Cheadle and Stone.  Your prayers for his recovery would be welcomed.

SOME ADDITIONAL MASSES

There is some good news with the addition of Trad. Rite Masses at Oulton Abbey near Stone,  Instead of bi-monthly Masses on the fourth Sunday, there will now be Masses on the fourth Sunday of each month at 3 p.m., subject to major events in the Benedictine calendar on the same day.  Our thanks to Mother Dame Benedicta and Fr. Petroc Howell.  The next two Masses are at 3 pm, June 24 and July 22
