Solemn Pontifical Mass at the Throne in Leicester

The Prior of the Dominican community in Leicester has announced that there is to be a Solemn Pontifical Mass at the Holy Cross Priory on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The celebrant will be Rt Rev Malcolm McMahon OP, Bishop of Nottingham, who, as the ordinary of the diocese, will be using the throne.

The Mass will be followed by the consecration of the shrine of the English Martyrs.

This is thought to be the first time that an ordinary of any English or Welsh diocese has celebrated a usus antiquior Pontifical Mass in his own diocese, since the introduction of the novus ordo in 1970. Clergy who would like to attend in Choir should bring their own cassock and serplice (and stole if receiving Communion).

The details are:-
