High Mass for Epiphany

It was good to see a packed church yesterday evening (Monday 6th January) for our celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord. The setting was Corpus Christi, Maiden Lane - the Westminster Diocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament. The Celebrant was Fr Gabriel Diaz, with Fr Peter Littleton as Deacon and Fr Stuart Foster, Subdeacon; the music was provided by Cantus Magnus. The LMS organises a Sung Mass in Corpus Christi each Monday at 6.30pm and it was very kind of Fr Robinson to allow us to have High Mass on this occasion.

Help the Sons of the Holy Redeemer replace their boat

The boat belonging to the monks (Sons of the Holy Redeemer) who live on Stronsay, an island in Orkney, Scotland, was smashed to pieces in a freak storm. To get on and off the island they are now reliant on the charity of local fishermen; they also need a boat in order to go fishing, a mainstay of their diet.
