Autumn 2021. In this issue: The Heenan Indult Turns Fifty; Your Young, Loyal, and Traditional Catholics; Chant for the Nativity; The God Rush; Year of St Joseph: A Carpenter’s Son & A Carpenter Today?
Editorial: The Heenan Indult Turns Fifty
Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP looks back at the petition in favour of the traditional Latin Mass by scores of British men and women of the world of culture and the arts, some non Catholic and some non Christian. Pope Paul VI was convinced to grant permission for the traditional Latin missal to be used further in England, and asked Mgr Bugnini to express his permission to Cardinal Heenan of Westminster.
Your Young, Loyal, and Traditional Catholics
The bureau of the Juventutem federation issued a communiqué following Pope Francis’ motu proprio Traditionis Custodes. Juventutem has worked for 17 years to make use of the Roman traditions of the Church for the sanctification of young people, with the blessing of the Holy See and the active support of many cardinals and bishops.
Chant for the Nativity
Chant expert Deacon Gwilym Evans, FSSP, on pastoral placement in England, presents the CD on Christmas chant made with his confreres at the international seminary of St Peter in Wigratzbad, Bavaria. For six consecutive weeks, Sancta Nox: Christmas Matins from Bavaria, on the De Montfort Music label, has been Number 1 on the US Billboard charts for classical music.
The God Rush
Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP shares his happy surprise at the number of young people in the UK who became nuns, friars or seminarians over the past couple of years. Could there have been a worse moment than the Covid outburst? And yet, a dozen of them heard God’s call and are now answering it. A new spring?
Year of St Joseph: A Carpenter’s Son & A Carpenter Today?
Young and mature people alike in our modern world are trapped into virtual reality. In these two articles Richard Kornicki presents woodwork as a welcome antidote for all, even if only by way of meditation in this Year of St Joseph. The profession chosen by Jesus Christ (first article) can safely be embraced by modern apprentices (second article).

GOOD
& BAD News:
Thankfully the sustained increase of our congregation by 100 souls was
confirmed. Since Easter 2021 we counted a stable average of 250 visitors per
Sunday against 150 until then. This higher number remained stable over the past
5 Sundays according to the archdiocesan annual Mass count: 249.2 visitors
exactly on average (all three Sunday Masses included) from 19 Sept to 17 Oct.
The BAD news is that our Offertory
collection did not increase in proportion, but paradoxically dropped in proportion. The average over
5 weeks has been £730/week. It is 40 % down on average collection over past
years and months, and less than half what is needed to meet the running costs
of St Mary’s Shrine. This is without mentioning the significant increase in
cost since our purchase of Priory Court. We thank our parishioners who shifted
to online standing orders as it makes it much easier for us to process. But
sadly the online weekly income is very far from compensating the spectacular
drop in weekly collection.
As you
will understand, this situation is a
most serious concern to us. Our newcomers may like to know that St Mary’s
Church, Presbytery and Priory Court are legally owned by our Fraternity, not by
the Liverpool Archdiocese, so that absolutely every expense has to be financed
by you our congregation whether in the pews or online (we thank LiveMass.net
donors). The Liverpool Archdiocese does not contribute to the financial support
of the Shrine. Neither does FSSP Warrington own a capital generating an added
income. Put simply, unless we receive much more money than currently, we will
be in real financial trouble. We invite you to speak with us or email if you
would like more information on our needs and how you can help us. Thank you for
your generosity.

On All
Souls’ Day (Nov. 2nd ) a plenary indulgence,
applicable only to the Poor Souls in Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a
Catholic church and there recite one Our Father and one Creed. On all the
days from November 1st through November 8th
inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls in
Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray even if
only mentally for the departed. There must be one visit for each day one seeks
to gain the indulgence; one visit will not apply for several days. Any public
cemetery with Christian tombs will do. The nearest one is 5 minutes walk from
St Mary’s: St Elphin’s, Church Street, WA1 2TL.
Conditions
for both indulgences: 1. Only one plenary indulgence can be granted per day.
2. It is necessary to be in the state of grace, at least by completion of
the work. 3. Freedom from attachment to sin, even venial sin, is
necessary; otherwise the indulgence is only partial. (By this is meant
attachment to a particular sin, not sin in general.) 4. Holy Communion
must be received each time the indulgence is sought. 5. Prayers must be
recited for the traditional intentions of the Holy Father on each day the
indulgence is sought. No particular prayers are prescribed. One Our Father and
one Hail Mary suffice, or other suitable prayers. 6. One must be
absolved in confession the fortnight before or following.
ALL SAINTS PARTY: Sunday 31st October after 11am Holy Mass, during an extended
tea and coffee social in Priory Court. Bring a small contribution of food or
drink for a shared table if you wish. All ages welcome, young and old! Come
dressed as a saint, or with a symbol for us to identify who you are
representing.

which so often follows an abortion. Please join us in praying and fasting for
the end of abortion in this country on Wednesday 27th October. For

New Auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool came for coffee
last week. St Mary’s Shrine clergy were glad to spend time with Bishop Neylon
for an informal visit. Born and bred in Warrington, he attended St Oswald’s
Catholic Primary School in Padgate and English Martyrs High School in Orford as
a child.
Our Archbishop publicly supported St Mary’s Warrington in the latest issue of the archdiocesan magazine: “In Warrington we are fortunate to have the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter which was founded by Pope St John Paul II. They conduct their liturgy according to the pre-conciliar rites and offer pastoral care to those who choose that way of worship.” Archbishop McMahon knows well our community whom he visits yearly. However, prayer is very much needed for many other Catholic faithful attracted to the usus antiquior and currently without access to it.

A couple of St Mary’s parishioners has been raising money for the Good Counsel Network by walking the 25 stages of the Ancient North Wales Pilgrims Way. They are now half way through the stages and won’t probably complete them all until next summer. However, they have raised £508 + gift aid so far and really want to raise as much as they possibly can.
All the raised funds are paid directly to GCN via the Just Giving site.
Congratulations
to Ray and Carla Cilia, whose fourth child, newborn Joseph, will be baptised on Sunday 10thOctober at 10:30am. We welcome the
Cilia family who moved from South London last month to be part of St Mary’s

Re-read earlier articles and homilies on Vocations:
Reflections on the relevance of religious life for young adults in Covid 2020s. Why not a few young people are attracted to it? How do they discern? Are they not afraid? Where is safe to apply? What if they fail or if their community is suppressed? And what about marriage? What if I still don’t know what to choose (the “Don’t-leave-me-behind-Syndrome”)?

A message from Fr Philomeno James, of the Gosport Franciscans

Ave
Maria
A
MESSAGE TO HELPERS
We
are trying to take the 40days Campaign onto a New level. This involves the
training of Pavement Counsellors who can engage the Mother’s in
“Crisis” at the vigil. There are certain guidelines to follow.
Perhaps Jesus and Mary are calling you to this most important ministry.
As
part of your response to prayer, if you are called to be generous and try this
vital apostolate, then we must mention some important points.
(1) The Necessity to have watched the Msr Philip Reilly Video on “Sidewalk Counselling” before the meeting on Sunday Night October 3rd at St. Mary’s Warrington, given by Justyna from GCN.
The
link to the seminar is below:
(2)
The generosity to spend 2 hours at the Vigil on either Tuesday October 05th or
Wednesday October 06th to be trained as a LIVE Observer of Justyna who will
attend the Vigil and provide “on the job” training. This may even
involve you to make a shift swap or take some hours off if you work.
Please
pray. Please be generous. Please give a voice to the voiceless, our poor
brothers and sisters waiting for your “YES”.
God
Bless and Mary Keep You All
Fr
Philomeno James

Prayer Vigil outside Liverpool abortuary from 6am-9pm until October 31st when the Autumn Campaign officially finishes.
