The pilgrimage will begin with devotions in the Church of St Walburge at 10.30am before pilgrims process to the Church of the English Martyrs, which is a distance of about a mile. There will be a Solemn Mass offered by the Canons of the Institute of Christ the King at the English Martyrs Church beginning at around 11.30 and this will be followed by veneration of relics. Tea and coffee will be provided after Mass.

The postcode for St Walberge’s Church is PR2 2QE, and for English Martyrs Church is PR1 1NA.

Here is a picture of the procession leaving St Walburge’s taken in 2018.

Triduum Cancelled in Diocese of Westminster

 

The Latin Mass Society has issued a press release (reproduced below) about the Archbishop of Wstminster refusing peremission for the celebration of the sacred services of  Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday in the Diocese of Westminster.  This is despite these services having taken place in the diocese fcor almost 30 years.

It is interesting to note that the Archbishop states that his decision is "for trhe sake of the wider provision", although it is difficult to understand how the wider provision is affected by having the services in their ancient form at one locatiion.

Candlemas

 Friday 2nd February is the Feast of thbe Purification, or Candlemas.  There will be a Sung Mass at the York Oratory at 6pm.  See previous post for the music.

Music at the York Oratory

 

Each month, the York Oratory publishes a list of the music to be usedat Sung Masses.  Here is the list for February.

Feast of the Epiphany

Saturday 6th January is the Feast of thr Epiphany and a Holyday of Obligation.  There will be two Latin Masses at the York Oratory:

    9.15am             Low Mass asis usual on Saturdays

    12.10pm           High Mass with music by Mozart, Sheppard and Palistrina.

No doubt, having the 12.10pm Mass as a traditional Mass will introduce many new people to the Mass of Ages.
