More Latin Masses in York

The number of traditional Masses in York is set to double. In future there will be a sung Mass in the usus antiquior on the first and third Sunday of each month. They will be at 6.00pm at English Martyrs Church, Dalton Terrace. The new shhedule starts on Sunday 4th November.

Fr William Hudson will be the celebrant and the music will be provided by the Rudgate Singers.

Please come and encourage others to come. We need to prove that there is a demand for the old Mass.

Incidentally we could do with a regular orginist.

TRAINING FOR SERVERS

There will be training for servers at 7.00pm on Sunday 7th Oct at the Anglican Church of St Mary, Bishophill Junior, York. We will mostly deal with Low Mass but will also cover the extra bits for High Mass. Hopefully we will make enough progress to have a full set of servers for the Mass at English Martyrs on Sunday 21st October.
