The Solemn Mass for the Feast of the Assumption last night at the York Oratory was very well attended. The picture below shows how full the church was.
It was also a musical treat, the musical setting being Palastrina's Assumpta est Maria. There was also the motet, Ave Maria, by Parsons.
I did not get a chance to count the size of the congregation, but I would estimate more than 200. I noticed many new faces. It was also very noticeable how many young people were present. Again I do not have any figures, but would estimate that two thirds of the congregation was under the age of 30.
