Black cope wanted

We have been asked by a priest serving in a Mission Station in South Africa if we could source a black cope for him to use.

Fr Gregory has a set of black vestments, which enabled him to offer 3 consecutive Low Masses on All Souls Day, but, so that he can perform absolutions at the catafalque in the future, he is in need of a cope. It doesn’t matter if the cope is in need of repair, he can arrange for this to be done, as he has done in the past with vestments.

If you are able to help, please contact Stephen Moseling, the General Manager, at the LMS Office.

St James's, Spanish Place

A suggestion has been made for a change in the timings of Sunday morning Mass at St James's. These currentl are at 8.30 OF, 9.30 EF Low Mass, 10.30 Sung Latin OF, and 12 noon OF. There is often little or no gap between the 9.30 and 10.30 Masses, to the detriment of both. How would those who regularly attend the earlier Masses feel about revised times of 8.15 and 9.15? Please give your views to LMS Rep, Roger Wemyss Brooks by email.

The Latin Mass Society held its annual pilgrimage to Wrexham Cathedral last Saturday.

St Richard Gwyn is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. He is a co-patron of the Latin Mass Society (along with St Margaret Clitherow) and his martyrdom took place in the Welsh town of Wrexham, very close to the Cathedral church of the Diocese.

Canon Amaury Montjean of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest celebrated the Mass, which was followed by veneration of the relic of St Richard.
