One Year of Latin Mass at Bedford

We were delighted to welcome Fr Anton Webb of the Oxford Oratory for the second time on 15 August to celebrate a Low Mass for the Feast of the Assumption.  It was a beautiful sunny evening and some 60 people attended.  Fr Webb looked resplendent in his red and gold chasuble and gave us a homily reminding us of how Our Lady longed to be in heaven with her Son between the time of His Ascension and her own Assumption and how we need to long for Jesus and that His will may be fulfilled in our lives.

The first Latin Mass at Bedford took place on 16 August 2015 with a congregation of 16 people and so we can look back on a year of growth and deepening of our faith.  Deo gratias!

Three Masses in a week!

We were very lucky to have three Masses in one week in Bedford!

On 29th June we had an evening Low Mass said by Fr. Matthew Goddard FSSP, who travelled up from Reading.

Fr. Thomas Crean celebrated a sung Mass on 2nd July for about 15 Catholic families (one of whom provided the singing!). This was followed by a picnic and ice cream

Fr. Crean also said Mass on 3rd July at Christ the King to about 40 parishioners
