Busy Few Weeks Ahead
This is an update for a busy few weeks ahead. As
regards our main Church for Masses in the Trad. Rite, Sunday Masses at 6 pm
will go ahead as usual. There is a change to the Saturday 10 am Low
Masses at Our Lady’s Swynnerton. There will not be a Mass this Saturday
(see message below*) as Father Paul will be attending confirmations in the
Traditional rite in Our Lady’s Shrine, Warrington (Buttermarket St.), beginning
11 am. The Mass, if you will, is transferred to the following Saturday,
10 am 24 June. The fortnightly Masses continue as normal from the
following scheduled Mass (1 July). The day after, Sunday 2 July, there is
the option of going to the annual LMS Holywell Pilgrimage Mass & Procession
to the Well, 2 pm. Three weeks later there is the annual LMS Summer
School, at Pantasaph, viz:
2017 Summer School, for boys and girls aged 11-18 - Sunday
23rd July to Sunday 30th July 2017. This will be held once again at the
Franciscan Retreat Centre in Pantasaph, North Wales
*Some further
details: Dan Hitchins mentioned the ordinations in the
Traditional Rite by Abp McMahon OP, next Saturday in his article in the current
Catholic Herald. The rector, whom I’ve known for some years (did an
article on him for a ‘Universe’ magazine 4/5 years ago), Fr. de Malleray, has
asked me to do an article on the event (includes a local lad from the Wirral
whom I know, Deacon Alex Stewart. The article will also cover his first
Mass on the Sunday, 18 June, in the EF rite, first blessings, and the Corpus
Christi procession following in the afternoon. As I understand it, my own
diocesan Bishop, Mark Davies, will be at the event after confirming a number of
confirmandi in the traditional rite on the Wednesday, 7 pm, June 14, at Ss PPP
(‘The Dome of Home’) New Brighton.
