Feasts of All Saints and All Souls at the York Oratory

The Feast of All Saints (1st November) falls this year on a Saturday, although in the Novus Ordo, it will be celebrated on the Sunday, thus transferring the Day of Obligation to the Sunday.  There will, nevertheless, be two Masses to celebrate the Feast on Saturday. at the York Oratory

Since the Feast of All Souls (2nd November) falls on a Sunday this year, the celebration of the Feast in the old rite is transferred to the Monday, and there will be a Solemn Requiem in the York Oratory at 6pm. Bishop Eleganti OSB, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Chur in Switzerland, will be preaching.

Details of the Masses, including the musical settings, are given in the poster below.
