Dowry Mag Winter Issue now online:

In this issue:

Westerners in 2022 can learn from the heroic fidelity demonstrated by Catholic Poland during WWII and later. Hoping against hope, a generation of young Catholic men and women stood up for their faith and country both at home and abroad. We British and Irish Catholics must love deeper Christ, Our Lady, Holy Church and the saints; and gather together in order to save our souls in the present and forthcoming trials. At the heart of the current battle is the education of our little ones as God’s children.

Editorial: It Is Happening – St Mary’s Academy

Fr de Malleray explains why education is central to his Fraternity’s mission, now implemented through the hybrid Regina Caeli Academies in Bedford and Warrington. Four years after it was indicated as the aim of the successful Priory Campaign, the “Village Option” has become a necessity for families to survive and pass on the faith to their children.

Educating the Saints of Tomorrow

Justin Bozzino presents the hybrid model of the Regina Caeli academies, successfully adapted from America for UK families. He invites families to register for the Warrington Open Day on Saturday 5th March (11am-2pm): www.rcahybrid.org.uk/info.

Heroic Poles in the Battle of Britain

Richard Kornicki reminds us of the crucial role of Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain. Air Officer Commanding RAF Fighter Command Hugh Dowding said: “Had it not been for the magnificent material contributed by the Polish Squadrons and their unsurpassed gallantry, I hesitate to say the outcome of Battle would have been the same”.

Young Women reflect on the Warsaw Uprising

Dowry asks two Polish young women settled in England how they relate to the heroism of a late fellow-Pole Cecylia Wolkowinska portrayed in her autobiography When the Summer Ended (written in collaboration with Joanna Bogle), from her youth in free Poland after WWI until the Nazi invasion of her country and the heroic uprising against the occupier in 1944. What inspiration, what lessons can young people in 2022 Britain learn from their heroic forebears fighting for freedom?

A Polish Army liberates Monte Cassino

Mark Kudlowski pays tribute to the determination of the Polish units who first reached the world-famous Abbey of Monte-Cassino eventually freed from Nazi occupation. Since Europe was civilised largely by the Benedictines stemming from Monte-Cassino, this victory over the anti-Christian forces of Adolf Hitler can inspire us in our third-millennium struggle for the Christian civilisation.

Elizabeth Prout, Mother Teresa of Manchester

Rosalind Starkie reviews Edna Hamer’s book on the Venerable Elizabeth Prout (1820–1864), Foundress of the female branch of the Passionist Order in Victorian England. A convert, Elizabeth Prout brought solace, education and hope to many women, girls and families suffering under inhuman conditions in the slums of Manchester during the Industrial Revolution.

A Bigger God

James Gillick shows that modern telescopes have given men a better idea of the magnitude of the cosmos. This humbles the wise, but terrifies the proud. They react with violence and manic ambition at the expense of true culture and spirituality. Christian artists and thinkers must depict anew the splendour of the Saviour for the benefit of mankind.

Meditations on the Stabat Mater

Religious superiors and theologians express their interest for the medieval liturgical sequence displaying the sufferings of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the foot of the Cross on Good Friday. A commentary on the Stabat Mater just released by CTS can be a good companion for the forthcoming Lent.


Dowry is the quarterly magazine of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in the UK & Ireland. Since its inception in 2008, the magazine has published dozens of articles on topics as diverse as theology, family life, education, the sacraments, Church Magisterium, art, politics, literature, cinema, spirituality, liturgy and more.

Thank God for a great pilgrimage to York last 5th Feb:

60 pilgrims from St Mary’s Shrine prayed at St Margaret Clitherow’s shrine and venerated her hand, walked the city walls and prayed for the conversion of England at York Minster. Thank you Fr Verrier, Deacon Evans and Andrew for logistics, Frs Quirke and Stewart and Deacon Evans for inspiring talks and homilies, and the Oratorian Fathers for their welcome. Now, where to for our next pilgrimage?


Quiet time before Mass from 11:50am: as requested by some, now 15mins silence before daily Mass, in between Holy Rosary and Angelus (now at 12:05pm).


Roof leaking: Thank you for the money raised and donated. Solutions are being examined.

St Mary’s Shrine Sunday Bulletin 30th January 2022

  Join the Worldwide Solemn Consecration of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter to the Immaculate Heart of Mary following a novena of preparation from February 2nd to 11th.

The purpose is to seek Our Lady’s increased protection on our Fraternity and on those we serve according to the traditional charism approved by the Holy See in our Constitutions. The solemn consecration is planned for February 11th, the feast of the Apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes. It will take place across our 259 Mass centres on 4 continents. In addition to the 526 FSSP members, the 8399 members of the Confraternity of St Peter worldwide will join the novena, as well as anyone who wishes.

Daily: One decade of the Holy Rosary + the Memorare:
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

A large statue of Our Lady of Lourdes will be positioned in the sanctuary of St Mary’s Shrine and blessed at the 12:10pm Mass on Candlemass (2nd Feb). The priest will lead the novena by the statue until Fri 11th Feb when the Act of Consecration will take place.

Men keep their heads uncovered within church; women are encouraged to wear a scarf, hat or mantilla. Kindly switch OFF your mobile phone before you enter our church.

To receive Holy Communion: one must be a Catholic, in the state of grace, one-hour fasting at least. In the traditional liturgy, Holy Communion is received kneeling (unless unable to) and always on the tongue. Thank you in advance.


Safeguarding: If you have concerns about children or vulnerable adults, please contact the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Department: m.robson@rcaol.org.uk or 0151 522 1013, or speak with Clare Fraser, St Mary’s Safeguarding Officer. Thank you for your awareness.


Welcome to Fr Gerard Quirke from the Archdiocese of Tuam in Ireland, currently a guest at St Mary’s Presbytery.


500 weekly visits to St Mary’s Shrine Church: half on weekdays and half on Sundays.


Roof leaking: Thank you for the money raised via the raffle hamper. No roofer could be booked yet to mend the roof: please pray for solution.


Following the further restrictions announced by the Holy See, let us pray with deep faith for the traditional Roman liturgy to be preserved. This includes the welfare of the priestly and religious communities that offer it, in particular the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter whose Constitutions were definitively approved by the Holy See (cf https://www.fssp.org/en/decree-of-the-ecclesia-dei-commission-on-the-liturgical-books-of-1962/) and praised by Pope Francis through his papal nuncio on our 25th anniversary (cf https://www.fssp.org/en/blessing-of-pope-francis-on-the-occasion-of-the-25th-anniversary-of-the-fssp/). Read further on this here: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2021/12/important-declaration-of-superior-of.html. We will offer Holy Mass monthly to this intention, starting last 9th January.

Trusting in Our Lady’s protection in our present difficulties:

The Fraternity is also under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Priest par excellence, and thus of each priest. She forms all priests in the image of her Son. She leads them to discover the profound motives for their celibacy, a condition for the blossoming of their priesthood” (cf. FSSP Constitutions, #4).

Solemn consecration of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter to the Immaculate Heart of Mary following a novena of preparation from February 2nd to 11th. The solemn consecration is planned for February 11th, the feast of the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes.


Thank you for helping us through the Offertory collection and standing orders. While the overall income is still far from covering the actual expenses of the Shrine, it is comforting to see how generously you respond. God bless you all.

Support St Mary’s Shrine: send your donation via our Donate page: https://fssp.co.uk/donate/. Ask us for a Gift Aid form to increase your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you. Gift Aid envelopes can be obtained from our Secretariat.

Pray for the Safeguarding of Roman traditions

Following the further restrictions announced by the Holy See last week, let us pray with deep faith, hope and charity for the traditional Roman liturgy to be preserved as a providential means of sanctification of souls.

This includes the welfare of the priestly and religious communities that offer it, in particular the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter whose Constitutions were definitively approved by the Holy See (cf https://www.fssp.org/en/decree-of-the-ecclesia-dei-commission-on-the-liturgical-books-of-1962/) and praised by Pope Francis through his papal nuncio on our 25th anniversary:

The Holy Father exhorts them, according to their own charism, to take an active part in the mission of the Church in the world of today, through the testimony of a holy life, a firm faith and an inventive and generous charity.

[emphases ours] (cf https://www.fssp.org/en/blessing-of-pope-francis-on-the-occasion-of-the-25th-anniversary-of-the-fssp/).

Read further on the reasons why traditional communities established by the Holy See deserve to be supported in their identity: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2021/12/important-declaration-of-superior-of.html.

We will offer Holy Mass monthly to this intention, starting on 9th January.

May the special patrons of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter intercede for us as they have done in the past: the Blessed Virgin Mary, St Peter the Apostle and St Thomas Aquinas.

Congratulations to John and FionaWestcombe onthe Baptism of their firstbornchild Alice last 21st December. John and Fiona moved near Warrington a few months ago to be part of St Mary’s Shrine.


New Year: two separate Plenary Indulgences applicable to oneself or to a holy soul in Purgatory can be gained by praying or singing in church: 1)The hymn Te Deum (Baronius p. 96) on 31st December in thanksgiving for the year past; 2) The hymn Veni Creator (Baronius p. 712) asking graces for the year starting.

In addition to performing the work (praying one of the two hymns above), the three usual conditions apply: 1) to be in the state of grace with no attachment to sin even venial, 2) reception of Holy Communion the same day, 3) to pray for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff. Please note that what is meant here is not the periodical intentions of the reigning pope published by the Holy See which one is welcome to pray at any time. For an indulgence, “intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff” means: the spiritual good of the whole Church, encompassing: the liberty and exaltation of the Catholic Church and the Apostolic See, the extirpation of heresies and the conversion of all who are in error, the concord of Christian Princes and the peace and unity of all the faithful.


Blessing of Epiphany Water on Wed 5th Jan: bring and drop by little organ before the 12:10pm Mass plastic containers filled with water and labelled to your name (to take home after) for the Blessing to begin right after 12:10pm Mass: lasting about from 1pm to 2pm.


English Conversation Classes: in a relaxed setting for an hour over a cup of tea, coffee and snack. Individuals, couples and families, all welcome. Introductory session on Tuesday 18th January after the 12:10pm Mass in Priory Court Unit 1.

Sunday 19th Dec 2021 Bulletin

WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS THIS CHRISTMAS!   Frs de Malleray, Verrier, Stewart and Deacon Evans, with Fr Jolly, wish you a blessed feast of the Nativity of the Lord and assure you of their prayer at the altar. They thank you for your dedication and support to the liturgical, devotional and material life at St Mary’s Shrine.  

CONFESSIONS: 24 Dec: 11:00pm-11:50pm; 25 Dec: 10:30am-12noon  

Kindly consider:
☞Although the obligation to attend Holy Mass on Sundays and holidays has not been reinstated to date, only a very grave reason would excuse in conscience able Catholics from attending at least one of the three Masses of the Nativity of the Lord: either Midnight Mass (even before midnight), or the Dawn Mass, or the Mass of the Day (Holy Communion can be received at the Midnight Mass and also at one of the two others if one wishes).
To receive Holy Communion: one must be a Catholic, in the state of grace, one-hour fasting at least. In the traditional liturgy, Holy Communion is received kneeling (unless unable to) and always on the tongue. Thank you in advance.
FSSP clergy do not retain Christmas and Easter collections for personal use. All Christmas collections will be used for the day-to-day running of St Mary’s Shrine (which includes the food, lodgings, pension allowance and salary of your priests). Should you wish to donate money to the clergy, kindly specify it on your envelope.
What else to give our clergy? Thank you for your gifts in kind. As it happens, we haven’t quite finished yet the bottles of liquors and digestives gratefully received last Christmas (2020). Bottles of red or white wine go more quickly though because they can be shared at meals on Sundays and feasts. Thank you!
Most clergy will be on vacation from 25th Dec afternoon. Kindly postpone all non-essential requests until Sunday 2nd Jan. Daily Mass and confessions continue as normal.

Thank you to the DeMontfort Fathers who donated 35 good chairs, much needed at our parish room.


Well done St Mary’s children: from the Home Ed group who sang carols at the local Old Folks’ Home; and from the Regina Caeli Academy who performed a moving Christmas play. RC Academy happily completed their first term and will resume on 10th January.


A new British priest at St Mary’s: Fr de Malleray is grateful to have been granted British citizenship on 8th December last. In priestly ministry in England since 2001, the new Britton is glad of this formal bond with his country of adoption and its wonderful people, cathedrals and saints.


Dowry Mag No51 printed copies arrived. (And online:fssp.org.uk/category/dowry/, Autumn 2021. )


Well done all you who spent time in adoration during the night for the protection of unborn children last Gaudete Sunday, feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
