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

This series of conferences (each of them about 45 minutes) was offered by Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP at St Mary’s Shrine Church in Warrington on 11-14 June 2018, and was advertised by the Liverpool Archdiocese in June 2018, in preparation for Adoremus, the National Eucharistic Congress in Liverpool (7-9 Sept. 2018).
The texts of the conferences were approved for publication on 5 June 2018 by Fr John Berg, Superior General FSSP.
