The Sacred Liturgy as a Secret Garden

New short book by Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP

The well-known children’s story The Secret Garden lends itself to a religious and modern interpretation. Like orphaned children in desperate need of spiritual comfort, many Catholics discovered the traditional Latin Mass thanks to the Covid pandemic. Thirsting for Confession, for Eucharistic adoration, or for Holy Communion administered with reverence, they rejoiced when finding all this and more in traditional worship. This book offers an analogy between Frances Hodgson Burnett’s pre-WWI tale for children, and the revelation experienced in the 2020s by a growing number of adults stepping into the grace-filled haven of the traditional Roman liturgy.

Praise for The Sacred Liturgy as a Secret Garden

A very clever treatment of the novel The Secret Garden. That well-known children story should be read twice—firstly, as any reader would read it just for enjoyment, and then again after reading Fr de Malleray’s fascinating hermeneutic of tradition, because the enjoyment and appreciation would be much greater. —Leo Darroch, former President of the International Federation Una Voce

An imaginative essay, whose poetic nature is a timely invitation to rediscover the forgotten riches of the Church’s traditional liturgy. —Fr Simon Henry, BA MA, Director of St Peter’s International College

This essay is intriguing, creative and sufficiently provocative to maintain the reader’s interest. The variety of expression is refreshing. Readers of all ages will enjoy discovering the liturgical treasures that lie hidden in the Secret Garden. —Fr Neil Brett, former head teacher

The Sacred Liturgy as a Secret Garden.

New book by Fr de Malleray, FSSP: http://aroucapress.com/sacred-liturgy-garden.

In a small format and with the use use of literature, this booklet explains how so many people came across the traditional Latin Mass during or soon after the Covid pandemic, and why they love it.

The well-known children’s story The Secret Garden lends itself to a religious and modern interpretation. Like orphaned children in desperate need of spiritual comfort, many Catholics discovered the traditional Latin Mass thanks to the Covid pandemic. Thirsting for Confession, for Eucharistic adoration, or for Holy Communion administered with reverence, they rejoiced when finding all this and more in traditional worship. This book offers an analogy between Frances Hodgson Burnett’s pre-WWI tale for children, and the revelation experienced in the 2020s by a growing number of adults stepping into the grace-filled haven of the traditional Roman liturgy.

Confraternity of St Peter: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still join the Confraternity of Saint Peter if…

1) If I can’t travel easily and I would not have the time to attend events with the Confraternity? 
– Yes, you may join. Provided you say the daily decade and Prayer, and have the Mass offered once a year by any priest in good standing, you are not required to do anything more, even on the day of your enrolment.

2) If I do not intend to be part of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter? 
– Yes, you may join. The Confraternity of St Peter (CSP) is formally distinct from the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP). Any Catholic can join the former; but only priests and future priests can join the latter. Confraternity members retain full liberty and can decide to leave at any time.

3) If I already have spiritual commitments?
– Yes, you may join. For instance, if you are already committed to praying one decade of the rosary daily, you can apply it to the Confraternity’s intentions, added to your other intentions. If those were meant to exclude any other, you simply say a further decade.

4) If I normally attend the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, not the Extraordinary Form. 
– Yes, you may join. Your prayers for priestly vocations and ministry as a committed Catholic are always valued.

5) If I want to pray for vocations not exclusively to the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter? 
– Yes, you may join. As a member of the Confraternity, you intend your prayer to benefit principally our seminarians and priests, but you may include others at your discretion.

6) If I am a seminarian / deacon / priest / bishop / religious / sister? 
– Yes, you may join. The Confraternity is not for lay persons only. Any clerics and consecrated persons in good standing are welcome.

7) If I am not able to give any money? 
– Yes, you may join. Your commitment is purely spiritual, and we do not expect you to contribute financially. Financial support to the formation of our seminarians and to the ministry of our priests is gratefully received, irrespective of Confraternity membership.

8) If I can’t conveniently recite the daily decade and Prayer in Latin, nor have the yearly Mass offered in the Extraordinary Form?
– Yes, you may join. You may say the decade in your preferred language and use any approved translation of the Prayer. While it is fitting to have the yearly Mass offered according to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman rite, any other rite authorised by the Catholic Church may be used as an alternative.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of our parishioner Michael Whelan, who died in Warrington Hospital two weeks ago. His funeral will take place on Fri 22 July, 11:45am at St Mary’s – with reception of the body on 21^st July, 2:30pm. Of your charity pray for his soul and for his family. R.I.P.

Thank you to all those who contributed to the success of the annual Warrington Corpus Christi procession on Sunday 19th June. Like on previous years, it was a beautiful prayerful witness to our shared Catholic faith in the Eucharistic Lord. Pope Francis said: “May this action of the Eucharistic procession, which we will carry out shortly, respond to Jesus’ command. An action to commemorate him; an action to give food to the crowds of today; an act to break open our faith and our lives as a sign of Christ’s love for this city and for the whole world.” (Corpus Christi 2016 Homily). Thank you to Canon Christopher Cunningham, PP who welcomed the procession at St Alban’s Church as on previous years.

FINAL CALL FOR BOOKINGS: FSSP Summer Camps 2022

UPDATE 1/7/22: Bookings are now closed.

NB Update 27/6/22. There are a few spaces remaining on these camps, but bookings MUST be received this week

We are delighted that after a two-year gap, it looks as though it will be possible this year to have our residential summer camps, for children aged 10-17.

St Peter Summer Camp for Boys runs 1-6 August

St Petronilla Summer Camp for Girls runs 8-13 August

Both camps take place at Savio House, Bollington (nr Macclesfield), in the gorgeous setting of the Peak District. There will be daily Mass, Compline, rosary, catechism & chant classes, sport, and various games. Very often the children put on a play for the parents at the end of the camp. Each camp is staffed by priests and seminarians of the FSSP, as well as a number of dedicated lay volunteers. Catering is provided by Savio House.

Please complete the booking form and return to Fr Phipps with deposit to book a place for your child. Please note, spaces are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.

NB Please make out cheques to “FSSP England”. If you prefer to pay by bank transfer, you will find our details here – please ensure you are using ‘FSSP England’ account, and mention ‘summer camps 2022’ (or similar) in the reference.

Superb photos of Corpus Christi Procession

About 200 people attended the 11:00am solemn high Mass of the external solemnity of Corpus Christi at St Mary’s Shrine, Warrington, on Sunday 19th June 2022. At the same Mass, several of our children received First Holy Communion.

Most of the congregation followed in procession across town to St Alban’s, the mother-church of Warrington, where Canon Cunningham, PP welcomed us for Benediction. As every year, people came from far and wide to take part in this rare opportunity to bear witness to our Eucharistic faith. Many passers-by will have looked at the Lord in the monstrance, perhaps for the first time in their lives.

Thank you to all those who worked very hard to make this Corpus Christi a success.
