Remember Br. Peter Julian at St. Joseph's Burslem?

Those of us who have been regular worshippers at the Trad. Latin Mass at St. Joseph's, Burslem, will remember Br. Peter Julian, one of the original six Fransican F.I. friars who took over the heritage-listed church and introduced the TLM there for the first time in over forty years.  This picture is dated for St. Patrick's Day yesterday, but does not give place or event..

 

POPE FRANCIS PRAYS AT TOMB OF ST. PIUS V

This is a picture from Thursday morning 14 March (courtesy Fr. Tim's Hermeneutic blog)
of the new Pope praying at the tomb of the great (Dominican) Pope St. Pius V of the great Mass (1570) we all love and promote.  It is in the basilica of S. Maria Maggiore in Rome, a quite staggeringly impressive church and a must on a Rome pilgrimage.

These are very early days and we have to discover our new Holy Father, and anything encouraging is worth noting, and this is surely encouraging.  LMS's Dr. Joseph Shaw is also posting information as we all seek to know more about the first Francis and the first Jesuit, and it is well worth having a look at his LMS Chairman's Blog.  It is known he has spoken out in Buenos Aires against same sex marriage, and the latter blog informs us of a strong stance against wayward and liberal Jesuit confreres. 

Oulton Mass Cancelled

Unfortunately, owing to illness and commitments the Mass scheduled at Oulton Abbey this coming Sunday, 17 March is cancelled.  Apologies, but a Happy St. Patrick's Day anyway.
