It has been suggested that the weekly news sheet distributed at Christ the King, Bedford appears on the blog and thereby on Facebook. Here is the first one from yesterday. Future editions will be published during the preceding week so that any information relating to the Sunday Mass is available beforehand.
Spotted on FSSP England Facebook dated 1 October:
Congratulations to Fr Patrick O’Donohue, to whom the FSSP General Council granted first incorporation into our Fraternity last month.
Fr O’Donohue has just completed his year of postulancy at Reading and we at Bedford wish him well in this next stage. We look forward to getting to know him better as he celebrates the Mass and leads Catechism Days with us.
Matthew Schellhorn will be singing Mass for the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, set on October 7th in commemoration of the battle of Lepanto:
Scarlet running over on the silvers and the golds,
Breaking of the hatches up and bursting of the holds,
Thronging of the thousands up that labour under sea
White for bliss and blind for sun and stunned for liberty.

NB the Catechism day is next Sunday, 14th October, when Fr. O’Donohue is back.

Please continue to pray and speak to your friends and acquaintances about this project. I mean it. Look what just happened… I asked again people to pray last Sunday. Two days later, I got an email from someone who reads our magazine and had heard about our Campaign. He had spoken to someone who did not know us, and that person, hearing about it, decided to donate £200,000.00. Imagine the difference it makes to our Campaign, jumping from £327,475.00 to £527,475.00. See the power of prayer – and of sharing the information even with people you think might not be interested. To that end, please forward the link to our official page below, with all updates: https://fssp.co.uk/warrington/priory-campaign-18-july-18-oct-18/.
Also of interest: released for you first, our latest issue of Dowry with special Priory Campaign presentation: https://fssp.co.uk/2018-09-12-dowry-39-online/.
I will be on yearly retreat this coming week and will pray for your intentions. God bless you and all those dear to you.
Fr de Malleray, FSSP
