Report on Rorate Mass

The Rorate Mass held at 7.30am on Saturday 19th December at St Wilfrid's Church, York was very well attended. I was not there myself, but there is a report with photographs on the website of St Wilfrid's Church. The breakfast served afterwards also seems to have been popular.

Looking at the photographs, most of the congregation, which included a good number of children, are not people that I recognise from the Sunday Latin Masses. The Rorate Mass is a good example of a way to introduce new people to the Latin Mass. It may be that in time, some of these will become regular attenders.
