July 15, 2021

Warrington Academy now officially confirmed.

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to announce that Regina Caeli Academy USA and UK have formally approved the start of Regina Caeli Academy (RCA) Warrington this September. This good news comes after months of diligent preparation.

Although Regina Caeli Academy is a separate entity from the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter, our Fraternity is actively committed to providing good Catholic education in various countries. Furthermore in Warrington, the building which we bought next door to our church, Priory Court, used to be a school run by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion, the female branch of Bl. Dominic Barberi’s Passionists, whose foundress Elizabeth Prout was made Venerable by Pope Francis. Therefore, RCA Warrington can rely on the full support of our Fraternity. We are very glad that good Catholic education will be offered again at St Mary’s Shrine.

RCA Warrington is still able to accept registrations for children in Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2 (UK Reception to Year 3) for this September. Please do spread the word and encourage any other parents who may be interested to contact Regina Caeli Academy Warrington: theacademystmarys@gmail.com.

Two of our parishioners at St Mary’s Shrine were selected as teaching staff and have received specialised training with RCA USA. They look forward to teaching the children and supporting the parents.

If you would like to support educational initiatives at St. Mary’s Warrington, please contact theacademystmarys@gmail.com.

Venerable Elizabeth Prout – pray for us!
Regina Caeli – ora pro nobis!

Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP, Rector of St Mary’s Shrine

Sunday 4 July 2021 Bulletin

Welcome to our First-Time Visitors! We are glad to share with you the beauty and depth of the traditional Latin Mass. Feel welcome to ask us about silence, Holy Communion on the tongue, the use of Latin, etc. Most people here came across this form of the Mass within the past few years or months. Like you they were perplexed at first. Now they treasure it. Find out more on lms.org.uk/faqs

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


DEAR WORSHIPPER, this notice has been for months on our newsletter and we thank those who have taken the time to read it, meditate upon it and finally have changed their casual Sunday attire to honour God. If you read this for the first time, or if you have not yet selected the appropriate clothing as Sunday best, kindly do so before coming to Sunday Mass:

All must dress modestly in church out of reverence for God and of respect for fellow-worshippers. Chest and limbs must be covered down to elbows and knees at least. No sportswear. Sunday best should be worn by all on Sundays and feasts: suit and tie for men and boys, dresses for women and girls. Men keep their heads uncovered within church; women are encouraged to wear a scarf, hat or mantilla. Thank you.

Switch OFF your mobile phone before you enter our church. Letting it ring inside the church gravely disturbs the quiet of the sacred place. Thank you for your consideration.


Safeguarding: If you have concerns about children or vulnerable adults, please contact the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Department on 0151 522 1043 or e-mail safeguarding@rcaol.co.uk, or speak with Clare Fraser, St Mary’s Safeguarding Officer. Thank you for your awareness.


Our Archbishop comes again to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation! Please pray for our candidates who will receive the Holy Ghost on Saturday 10th July at 3pm, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. ALL welcome to attend and pray. We are grateful to His Grace Archbishop McMahon of Liverpool for visiting St Mary’s Shrine again this year.


Goodbye to our seminarian Miklos after his 5 months spent among us for apostolate. We assure him of our prayer for his last three years until priestly ordination. Thank you also to our other seminarian Henry for his past fortnight of summer apostolate.

Summer Camps 2021 Update – Fully Booked!

Thank you for patiently waiting further news on our summer camps this August. At this point in time, things are sadly still very unclear. However, we have been reliably informed that even if the government proceeds with the (delayed) roadmap, there will most probably still be restrictions that apply to residential youth camps. Until we know precisely what these are, it is impossible to have sufficient clarity as to whether we can go ahead.

Please note, this is not only a matter for the FSSP, but also Savio House where the camps are held, and the National Youth Agency, whose regulations the camps also need to abide by.

Therefore, it is our intention to wait until the review for the current extension of restrictions is announced – this may be by 5 July, but perhaps more realistically around 12 July to have a clearer idea of the details. Naturally, if the ongoing uncertainty is difficult, it is no problem if you wish to withdraw your booking.

As things stand, one thing that looks almost certain is that our numbers will be restricted to 30 (we can normally have 40). As a result, I must now announce that we are fully booked for both camps. If you still wish to send in booking forms, you can do so, and we will put your children on a reserve list in case of cancellations.

Latest book by Fr de Malleray: printed copies available; and presentation here: http://aroucapress.com/near-missed-masses

“Can priests miss Mass? This little book light-heartedly depicts ten Holy Masses nearly missed by priests due to some opposition. From Kilimanjaro to Loch Ness, from Burma to Paris and more, the ten humorous short stories describe obstacles to the celebration of Holy Mass, thankfully overcome. The ten priests persevered, spurred by the conviction that Holy Mass: 1) honours God, whose extrinsic glory increases each time the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered; 2) helps souls through the temporal application of Christ’s saving merits that Holy Mass brings about; 3) fortifies priests, whose ontological raison d’être is to offer the divine Victim on the altar. Leaving aside theological arguments, Near Missed Masses entertainingly illustrates these truths through fiction.”

Praise for Near Missed Masses

In the real world, which is the world that God made, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the power station feeding the life of grace. Without such grace, we die. In this volume of true stories, Fr Armand de Malleray shows us the life-giving power of the Mass in a world darkened with devildom. The light-hearted and humorous tone of the stories makes them easily readable without ignoring the gravity of the topic. — Joseph Pearce, author of biographies of J. R. R. Tolkien, Oscar Wilde, C. S. Lewis, and G. K. Chesterton

The unusual theme that unites a good number of the stories in this compendium is a scenario with which many a freshly-ordained priest will soon become familiar—the battle royal that often ensues in the attempt to secure an altar at which the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass may be offered in an atmosphere of recollection and decorum. With tact and good humour, Father de Malleray explores the intra-ecclesial prejudices and neuroses which have given rise to such a state of affairs, and illustrates how perseverance, charity and prayer are the most effective weapons we possess against suspicion and bigotry. An edifying read for both priests and laity, which we should pray will contribute to the healing of self-inflicted wounds which for too long have hampered the Church’s mission of evangelisation. — Fr Julian Large, Provost of the London Oratory

The stories in this collection give us precious evidence of the hidden persistence of the grace of the true priestly vocation in unexpected situations. The ten narratives portray priestly candidates and priests of various ages and cultures. All reveal that secret dialogue in the soul that takes place when grace is at work. Based on my experience in teaching Thomistic philosophy to seminarians for a decade and catechesis to seminarians and priests as well as lay people, I cannot recommend this book highly enough for young Catholic men and for all those who nurture vocations, or who could, but who are not sufficiently alert to the quiet presence of the Holy Spirit in many young souls. — Dr Caroline FareyAnnunciation Catechesis

In Near Missed Masses, Fr de Malleray finds a delightfully playful and imaginative way to reinvent true contemporary stories and drive home a serious point: the value of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and the zeal that we should have to celebrate (as priests) or attend (as layfaithful) this Sacrifice worthily and frequently. In this way, the book functions like the proverbial storeroom containing things both new and old! — Fr Henry Whisenant, Diocese of East Anglia (England)

Four Years Ordained!

Dear Frs Stewart and Sanetra,

All of us in Britain & Ireland, and abroad, assure you both of our prayer for you on this your fourth anniversary of ordination. We recall with emotion this wondrous event, when you became priests of the Lord. The fact that it was occurring in the traditional way for the first time in 50 years was an added grace for all Catholics in these Isles. We thank you for your ministry and priestly witness over the past four years.

Ad multos annos!

Sunday Bulletin 6 June 2021

Welcome to our First-Time Visitors! We are glad to share with you the beauty and depth of the traditional Latin Mass. Feel welcome to ask us about silence, Holy Communion on the tongue, the use of Latin, etc. Most people here came across this form of the Mass within the past few years or months. Like you they were perplexed at first. Now they treasure it. Find out more on lms.org.uk/faqs

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

All must dress modestly in church out of reverence for God and of respect for fellow-worshippers. Chest and limbs must be covered down to elbows and knees at least. No sportswear. Sunday best should be worn by all on Sundays and feasts: suit and tie for men and boys, dresses for women and girls. Men keep their heads uncovered within church; women are encouraged to wear a scarf, hat or mantilla. Thank you.

Switch OFF your mobile phone before you enter our church. Letting it ring inside the church gravely disturbs the quiet of the sacred place. Thank you for your consideration.

Safeguarding: If you have concerns about children or vulnerable adults, please contact the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Department on 0151 522 1043 or e-mail safeguarding@rcaol.co.uk, or speak with Clare Fraser, St Mary’s Safeguarding Officer. Thank you for your awareness.
