There is a Low Mass in the Traditional Rite on the Feast of All Souls, Nov. 2, at 7 pm at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Swynnerton.   The following Friday, Nov. 6, there is a First Friday Low Mass at 7 pm at St. Wulstan’s Church, Wolstanton.

 Visit to Rome with LMS and Una Voce

I got back from Rome two days ago where members of the LMS and Una Voce International (Jamie Bogle wasn’t re-elected as President, but Joseph Shaw was as Treasurer) were among an international procession of hundreds, perhaps over 1,000, of traditionalists led by many clerics through the streets of Rome to St. Peter’s, where Solemn High Mass was celebrated in the Traditional Rite in the chapel beneath the Holy Paraclete window.  LMS and Una Voce members and guests were addressed by Cardinal Pell at a dinner in his honour.

 

CANCELLATION SWYNNERTON MASS 27 SEPT. 2015

Unfortunately, the Trad. Rite Mass at Our Lady’s Swynnerton this Sunday (6pm 27 Sept. 2015) is cancelled.  It’s just one of those things when possible replacement priests have commitments already, and it may well have been a low turn out with one of the altar boys being confirmed in the ICKSP Church in Preston.

 

There is Low Mass this Saturday 26 Sept at 10 am and fortnightly thereafter (10, 24 Oct …) and usual Sunday Mass at Swynnerton on Sunday Oct. 4^th. at 6 pm.  First Friday Mass at St. Wulstan’s, Wolstanton, on 2 Oct. is at 7 pm.

SWNNERTON SATURDAY MASSES:  CORRECTION

Please disregard the date of Oct. 3^rd for a Saturday 10 am Mass at Swynnerton in the earlier message.  The fortnightly Masses will be maintained at 10 am, but from and including Saturday 26 Sept: following Saturday Masses will be on October 10th, October 24th, November 7th etc.  We are grateful to Fr. Chavasse for arranging this in order to fit in with his busy schedule.

SATURDAY A.M. MASS SEPT 19 CANCELLED

There will not be a 10 am Saturday morning Mass at Swynnerton this weekend (19 Sept) as Fr. Chavasse is away.  There will be a replacement priest for the Sunday 6 pm Mass (20 Sept.) which will be Low.  There will also be a replacement priest for the Sunday 6pm Mass the following Sunday (27 Sept.) at Our Lady’s Swynnerton.

 

Thereafter the schedule is as usual with Fr. Chavasse on Saturdays (next Oct 3) and Sunday evenings.  Fr. Dykes will celebrate First Friday Mass at St. Wulstan’s, Wolstanton on Friday 2 Oct. at 7 pm.

 

SWYNNERTON MASS SAT. 22 AUG. CANCELLED

This Saturday’s Mass (22 Aug. ) is cancelled.  Fr. Chavasse had to have another couple of days in hospital  mid-week, but he’s out now, and we will have Mass as usual 6pm Sunday. 

Feast of The Sacred Heart Mass at Swynnerton

There will be a Low Mass for the Feast of the Sacred Heart on Friday, 12 June at 7 pm., at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Swynnerton.  This evening Mass replaces the usual Saturday morning Mass the following day (13th.).  The next Saturday morning Mass will be 27 June at 10 am.

Our thanks to Fr. Paul Chavasse, Cong. Orat.

Sung Mass Swynnerton 1st Sunday of Lent

The 6 pm Mass at Our Lady of the Assumption Swynnerton this Sunday, 25 Feb. will be celebrated by Fr. Stephen Goodman (Fr Chavasse undergoing therapy, but he is much improved, Deo Gratias) and will be a Missa Cantata.  Possibly also Fr. Goodman will celebrate the following Sunday.
