It nearly became a tradition to have priestly ordinations at St Mary’s Warrington. Last year was Fr Seth Phipps’, the year before Frs Sanetra and Stewart’s.
This year however, we have instead the first wedding among members of our congregation (Sat. midday 22 June 2019). This same weekend, our community is blessed with further sacramental graces: not only two new spouses, but also six new adult Catholics (an over two-hour ceremony with ritual prostrations and exorcisms, on Sat. 22 June afternoon); six First Communicants on Sunday morning 23 June; and public witness to many with Eucharistic Procession across Warrington on Sunday 23 June 3pm-4pm. A plenary indulgence can be gained at the usual conditions by attending the First Holy Communion Mass; and also by participating in the Eucharistic procession (N.B. one plenary indulgence per day only). Suggestion: why not apply this indulgence to a poor soul suffering in Purgatory for culpable neglect of the Holy Eucharist while on earth?
Lastly, pray for – and attend if you can – the sacrament of Confirmation to be conferred to our candidates by His Grace Archbishop Malcolm McMahon OP next week, on Thursday 4th July at 7:00pm. All welcome.
No priests then? Thank God, yes there will also be priests. Following our recent ordinations in America and Canada, a further six priests will be ordained at our Bavarian seminary next Sat 29th June. Fr de Malleray will represent our UK apostolate. Please pray for the candidates, as well as for our UK seminarians and priests, and for the three young men from the UK who will begin formation at our American seminary next September. Members of the Confraternity of St Peter, our prayer network for priestly vocations, can earn a plenary indulgence on 29th June at the usual conditions.
Thanks be to God for the spirit of brotherly affection in Christ which is manifest at St Mary’s Warrington, where many parishioners spontaneously give of their time to prepare the many events, as well as attend the various ceremonies with recollection and intercession.
General Remarks On Indulgences
1. This is how an indulgence is defined in theCode of Canon Law(can. 992) and in theCatechism of the Catholic Church(n. 1471): “An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints”.
2. In general, the gaining of indulgences requires certain prescribedconditions(below, nn. 3, 4), and the performance of certain prescribedworks(nn. 8, 9, 10 indicate those specific to the Holy Year).
3. To gain indulgences, whether plenary or partial, it is necessary that the faithful be in thestate of graceat least at the time the indulgenced work is completed.
4. Aplenary indulgencecan be gained onlyonce a day.In order to obtain it, the faithful must, in addition to being in the state of grace:
— have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin;
— have sacramentally confessed their sins; — receive the Holy Eucharist (it is certainly better to receive it while participating in Holy Mass, but for the indulgence only Holy Communion is required); — pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.
5. It is appropriate, but not necessary, that the sacramental Confession and especially Holy Communion and the prayer for the Pope’s intentions take place on the same day that the indulgenced work is performed; but it is sufficient that these sacred rites and prayers be carried out within several days (about 20) before or after the indulgenced act. Prayer for the Pope’s intentions is left to the choice of the faithful, but an “Our Father” and a “Hail Mary” are suggested. One sacramental Confession suffices for several plenary indulgences, but a separate Holy Communion and a separate prayer for the Holy Father’s intentions are required for each plenary indulgence.
6. For the sake of those legitimately impeded,confessorscan commute both the work prescribed and the conditions required (except, obviously, detachment from even venial sin).
7. Indulgencescanalwaysbe applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased,but they cannot be applied to other persons living on earth.

Eucharistic Procession from St Mary’s to St Alban’s
Homily to young adults and professionals on the 15th anniversary of Juventutem, Friday 24th May 2019, Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians, St Mary Moorfields, London, UK, by Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP, General Chaplain to the Juventutem International Federation (cf www.juventutem.org). See typed summary below video screen – click on picture or link to start video.
On the 15th anniversary of the Juventutem movement, on the feast of Our Lady Help of Christians, Fr De Malleray, FSSP, gives a sermon on the sanctification of youth. He begins with an overview of Juventutem, which gets its name from the psalm “Judica Me”, and was created with the purpose of helping young Catholics become saints through the Roman traditions of the Church.
Fr De Malleray reminds us that sanctity is our most important goal. But we can often be persuaded that it’s far too ambitious, that sainthood is only reserved for others. Nevertheless, he says, every human being is called to become a saint, and they are called right now in this moment. Indeed, such a calling will not be easy. The youth of today are beset by media, celebrities, allured into false paradises, while the teaching of the Church is out of focus. Meanwhile, the Magesterium is losing some of its precision and determination. All of this makes it objectively more difficult for us to become saints. Yet we must remember: “where sin abounds, grace over-abounds”.
Fr De Malleray asks: “do you want to be a saint?”. It is the will of God and He has given us the means, if we will only dispose ourselves to them. What stands in the way? The frailty of our human condition, and the voice whispering in our ear that sainthood is beyond our reach. Difficult though these are, we should have some perspective. The youth of the historical church had it far tougher than those of today. We still enjoy freedom and we should make use of it to live a sacramental life. The sacrifice of the mass; confession; daily meditation; devotions – such as those to Our Lady – all of these enable us to draw closer to Our Blessed Lord.
He reflects on the emblem for Juventutem. It is a monstrance, and signifies the importance of deepening our Eucharistic faith. Fr De Malleray identifies the Traditional Latin Mass as the best means from which our sancrification must be drawn. This liturgy, which most eloquently expresses the salvific truth of Christian revelation, is unique. There has not been found a rite more adequate, fitting and fruitful than this. Countless saints, down the generations, have been nourished in their love for the Holy Eucharist through the words and gestures of what is called the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
Fr De Malleray concludes: “Do you want to become saints?” It is possible. There is only one problem. Sin. But this problem can be addressed if we are willing. If we cooperate with the grace of God, through the Sacrifice of the Mass, and welcome Our Lord into our hearts. Then, having received the truth, it is fitting to share it with others. We should tell our friends of this saving truth. God will help us in our mission. His grace has been made available. All it needs is our co-operation, of self-surrender in our daily lives. Fr De Malleray then invites the faithful, to give the Lord a blank cheque that He might dispose of our talents in the way that He knows best, in order to be His apostles, and facilitate the conversion of London, and England back to Our Blessed Lord and Our Blessed Lady.
“This we ask through the intercession of all the young canonised saints and Our Lady Help of Christians”

Thank God for a third UK applicant admitted at our international seminary in America.
Please pray for any hurdle to be overcome for Harry, Conan and Tom to begin formation for the sacred prieshood next September at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary.
There are various causes explaining why these three brave men applied, and got admitted. But surely, your prayers for priestly vocations are an important factor, in response to the Lord’s command: “The harvest is abundant but the labourers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out labourers for his harvest” (Mt 9:38).
Congratulations to Monica from Liverpool and Matteo from West Sussex who will be enrolled in our international prayer network, the Confraternity of St Peter, next 9th June, on Whitsunday.
Like them, make your prayer for vocations more efficient throughhttps://www.fssp.org/…/help-us/confraternity-of-saint-peter/, and have 460 FSSP clerics + 6,600 Confraternity members include you in their daily prayers.
————————————
Confraternity of Saint Peter FAQ’s
Can I still join the Confraternity 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.
– including from 5:30pm before 6pm Sunday Mass and on Saturdays 10am-11:45am during Eucharistic Adoration.

Deo gratias for two young men from the UK admitted into our international seminary in the USA. Please pray for every possible hurdle to be overcome so that they may begin priestly formation next autumn. Please pray for two other British applicants: one awaiting our seminary’s decision, and another who was sadly unsuccessful. All these young men deserve our prayerful support for their generosity in applying, regardless of the outcome.
Congratulations to Roger Gilbride, formerly on apostolate at St Mary’s, who was ordained a deacon yesterday, Sat. 25th May, at our European seminary, together with six other seminarians.
The day before, four were ordained priests at our US seminary, and one more will be made a priest on 31st May in Ottawa. Next month, priestly ordinations will also take place at our seminary in Bavaria.
