Congratulations and best wishes to Justin and Grace Bozzino, whose fourth son, Sebastian, was born last Saturday, 16 June. We look forward to meeting the newest member of our congregation in due course!
Matthew Schellhorn is with us for the second Sunday running, this time to sing the Mass for the Nativity of St John the Baptist. We had a large congregation last Sunday and hope for even more people on the 24th.
Matthew encourages us to sing the congregational parts of the Mass and you can obtain copies of the music from the table at the back of church. Also there you will find a sheet giving the congregation’s postures for Sung Mass, which are slightly different from a Low Mass.
At a Sung Mass, time does not allow for the translation of the readings; here is a link where they can be found, along with much other useful information, kindly given to us by one of our congregation: http://www.divinumofficium.com/cgi-bin/missa/missa.pl
