At the end of October there was a well attended First High Mass of Canon Scott Tanner ICKSP at New Brighton.
This weekend the Society's 50th anniversary year was concluded by a magnificent Requiem High Mass at Westminster Cathedral celebrated by His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke. The Cardinal had also earlier administered the Sacrament of Confirmation upon a number of confirmands at St James', Spanish Place.
Meanwhile, this coming Saturday, the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lady, the official inauguration of Father Armand de Malleray FSSP and the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter at St Mary’s in Warrington takes place. Mass is at 12 noon.
This will be a Polyphonic Solemn High Mass in the presence of local Ordinary, the Most Rev Malcolm McMahon OP, Archbishop of Liverpool, and of the Right Rev Cuthbert Madden OSB, Abbot of Ampleforth, whose Abbey founded and ran St Mary's Priory Church until 2012.
The music for the Mass is:
Missa a 4 voci : Claudio Monteverdi
Christe, Adoramus Te : Claudio Monteverdi
Ave Maria : Tomas Luis de Victoria
Mass will be followed by refreshments.
I cannot be there but I pray for every success for the Priestly Fraternity and their mission in Warrington.
