Juventutem Summer Weekend, Ampleforth

 The annual summer weekend organised by Juventutem at Ampleforth will take place over the weekend of 18th to 20th July.  Details are in the poster below.  The bookings are being handled by the Laztin Mass Society.

Feast of Corpus Christi

 The Feast of corpus Christy occurs on Thursday 19th June.

There will be a Low Mass in the traditional rite at 8.15am at the York Oratory.  There will be also be a Solemn Mass at the York Oratory at 6pm.  This Mass will be followed by a procession of the Blessed Sacrament through the streets of York.

Regrettably, there will be no Latin Mass at the Church of Our Lady and St Peter Chanel in Hull on the Feast of Corpus Christi, as the regular Thursday Latin Mass has to give way to a Novus Ordo Mass,

Feast of the Epiphany

 A reminder that Monday 6th January is the Feast of the Epiphany.  There will be two Latin Masses at the York Oratory.  The usual weekday Low Mass will take place at 8.15am and there will be a Solemn Mass at 6pm.

Unexpected Support for Latin Mass

The campaign to promote the freedom of the Latin Mass has gained support from an unexpected source.  Mr Jim Shannon, the Democratic Unionist Party the MP for Strangford in County Down in Northern Ireland has submitted a written question to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office of the UK government asking if there were any plans to intervene with the Holy See on the question of the rumoured ban on the Latin Mass during the forthcoming Chartres pilgrimage.

Mr Shannon is a Protestant, a prominent Orangeman and a member of the political party founded by the Rev Ian Paisley.  He is also a campaigner for the freedom of religious beliefs, and clearly regards the restriction currently being imposed on the Latin Mass as a violations of such freedoms.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Sunday 8th December is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.  There will be the usual Sung Latin Mass at noon in the York Oratory.  The musical setting will be Victoria's Messe Ave Maris Stella. In the afternoon, there will be Vespers and Benediction featuring the Magnificat Primi Toni by Lassus.

Starting today, 29th November, and running up to the Feast, we are asked to pray a Novena that the proposal to legalise assisted suicide being debated in Parliament be rejected.

Latin Mass in a Barn

 Brendan Kavanagh is a musician with a very large following on Youtube.  He usually plays public pianos in location s ,like St Pancras Station, and specialises in Boogie Woogie music.  However, he has an interest in the Latin Mass, and has released a video of the beginning of a Missa Cantata that took part in a barn that he has converted into a chapel.  Here is the link.
