Fr de Malleray, FSSP will give a talk for all on Angels & Demons on Ascension Thursday 12th May at 8:00pm in the Parish hall of Chesham Bois after the 7:00pm holy Mass.
Ascension Thursday being a holyday of obligation, every able Catholic must attend holy Mass that day under penalty of grave sin. One may seek dispensation from the Chaplain if they think they have a valid impediment.
Holy Masses will be offered in Bedford (OLOR) at 8:00am, and in Chesham Bois at 7:00pm.
We heartily recommend reading this short explanation of episcopal consecrations, available under the title A Study of the “Autonomous” Episcopate, on https://www.aroucapress.com/autonomous-episcopate.

Thank you for further donations, and for telling your contacts about this: a webpage is being designed, which should go live next month.
