The purpose of this blog is to provide an open forum for discussion of the aims of the society; news from the wider Church and details of Masses and events of interest in the diocese. The Latin Mass Society in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough expresses its full filial devotion and loyalty to Holy Mother Church, Pope Francis and Bishop Drainey.

Preference for the Latin Mass


The York Oratory is livestreaming a daily Mass in both the Ordinary Form and the Extraordinary Form.  I noticed that yesterday that the Extraordinary Form had 81 viewings and that the Ordinary Form had 61 viewings.

This would seem to suggest some preference for the Extraordinary Form.

FSSP Seminary at Widratzbad


There is news that the Seminary of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter at Widratzbad in Bavaria is suffering from coronavirus.  All the priests and half of the 90 seminarians are affected.  Everyone is confined to their rooms.  I understand that no one is seriously ill, but it is thought that the virus will eventually affect all the students.

Please remember these good priests and students in your prayers.

Feast of the Annunciation


THIS MASS IS CANCELLED

Wednesday 25th March, being exactly nine months before the Feast of Christmas, is the Feast of the Annunciation.

There will be two opportunities to attend a Sung Mass in the usus antiquior in the Diocese of Middlesbrough on this very great Feast.

As is usually the case on major Feasts, the York Oratory will be offering a Solemn Mass at 6pm.

Fr William Massie will be offering his first old right Missa Cantata at 7.30pm at the Church of Our Lady of Lourds and St Peter Chanel, Cottingham Road, in Hull.

Fr Massie is putting a great deal of effort into learning how to sing a Missa Cantata.  It will also be a new venture for the servers and for the choir, so we must all hope and pray that it goes well.

I would urge anyone living in the Hull area who is free on the evening of the 25th March to  give Fr Massie their support by attending this Mass.

THIS MASS IS CANCELLED
