Dowry Magazine, Summer issue now online. Read about Humility Month, Seminary Chapel, Coronation of King, Pugin in Tasmania, Catholic novel, and more.
In this issue:
Editorial: Why June is Humility Month
Fr de Malleray considers that the month of the Sacred Heart is also that of the Holy Eucharist with Corpus Christi. The example of St Francis of Assisi whose humility is universally acknowledged shows a little spoken-off connection between the saint and the Holy Eucharist.
Prayerful Pro-Life Witness
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, the courageous young woman who was arrested for praying silently outside an abortuary, explains why bearing witness to life is part of the Gospel. She invites all to the March for Life in London on 2 September.
English Architect and Irish Pews in Bavaria
English seminarian David rejoices at the beautiful improvements to the community chapel at the International Seminary of St Peter in Bavaria, enhanced by unexpected contributions from the British Isles.
On the Coronation of King Charles III
Homily from Warrington on the day of Coronation, giving thanks for the Christian rite of coronation, a powerful reminder of the Christian identity of the the United Kingdom. The ritual calls for conforming the life of sovereign and people to the sweet law of Christ, King of kings.
Pugin at the Far End of the World
Brian Andrews, Heritage Officer for the Diocese of Hobart, explains A.W.N. Pugin’s influence as far as Tasmania, illustrated by stunning pictures that bear witness to the global influence of the great Catholic convert architect.
Traditional Ministry in Australia
Fr Roger Gilbride, FSSP, formerly in England, recalls the humble beginning of the FSSP in Australia until its upgrade to a fully-fledged district.
Vermeer’s Angel, a New Catholic Novel
Four representatives of the world of letters comment on a Catholic novel just released: a Catholic publisher, a literary review editor, a novelist and a university lecturer took pleasure in reading a story where friendship, religion, the fine arts, and ideology intertwine against a Cold War backdrop. In the Church under attack, the worst infiltration is sin. Safety then will start with repentance.
Our Lady Helps Build the Village
Building up a vibrant Catholic sanctuary is more needed than ever in our uncertain times. Not for the first time over the past 5 years, divine Providence has helped the Priory Campaign in Warrington. The versatile Shrine hall was recently blessed by the Archbishop of Liverpool, but help is still needed for completion of work. Visit our new fundraising webpage: https://www.lifefunder.com/fsspwarrington.
Support our Apostolate
As the FSSP expands across the British Isles, assistance in many ways is requested, while a broad range of media is offered to all to strengthen their faith and evangelise.
COMING VERY SOON: please tell young ladies now about this unique opportunity. Surely not only young men wish to hear how to discern God’s calling.
Young ladies from anywhere in the UK, come forward! This is no sign-up for convent, but a presentation of what religious life entails and why it is worth looking into.
Vocation Discernment Day for LADIES
(Catholic & single): Sat 29 July
with Sr Mari Caritas (then visiting from Minneapolis, erstwhile from St Mary’s Shrine) and Fr de Malleray, FSSP: 10:00am-5:00pm.
1) a versatile Shrine hall sitting 218 guests and pilgrims (Middle Floor);
2) classrooms, repository and admin space (Ground Floor);
3)twelve bedrooms for pilgrims, visiting seminarians and priests (Top Floor).
Before lockdown we did raise £1M to buy and convert this property, next door to our beautiful church. But costs have soared since Covid. With us, invest in re-evangelising England.
This is how:
→ We are a traditional Catholic hub in Great-Britain with 500 visits per week;
→ With several FSSP priests serving God and souls full time;
→ Daily traditional Mass and confessions;
→ Teaching the faith to children (home-schooling group, St Mary’s Academy) and adults (Men and Ladies’ groups, Juventutem youth group, converts classes);
→ Sustained pro-life involvement (LifeSiteNews; SPUC, Good Counsel Network, March for Life UK);
https://player.vimeo.com/video/280269649
[Please note, the video above was recorded before the Covid crisis but the pastoral aim of the Priory Campaign remains.]
→ Quarterly magazine Dowry to spread the faith and other publications;
→ St Mary’s Academy to help our children become saints; on the very spot where the nuns of the Venerable Elizabeth Prout (foundress of the female branch of the Passionists) taught children for decades;
→ First priestly ordinations in the traditional form in England and yearly Confirmations by local Archbishop;
→ Best stability: St Mary’s Shrine is so far in England the only place of its kind legally owned by a traditional order; and the FSSP has a special decree from the Pope to use the traditional liturgy for all the sacraments.
God bless you.
Pray for: Michael Ibbotson, Catherine Sibert; Terry Drury, Michelle Brazier-Huelsman, James H., Bill Conder, Greta Doyle, Dorothea Wallace, M. Hawley; Theresa Reynard. RIP: Francis Billington; Rita Hall; Hilda Creagan, Ana Mary Rozo, Ann Evans, Michael Whelan; John Marechal.

Priory Court: please continue to pray and tell others about our needs. Thank you!
We need £0.5M given us to complete the full scheme, but we need most urgently at least £200,000.00 to complete Phases 1 & 2 (Ground Floor and First Floor). Please ask the Venerable Elizabeth Prout for miracle donations! Also, do share our needs with your contacts. Previously, large donations came from people who did not know us personally, but only through friends. Our Lady helped us in the past. Let us ask Her again.
Hence, from 5 to 13 June included: “FOR COMPLETION OF PRIORY COURT” :
SPECIAL NOVENA OF MASSES ;
In addition, the Rector requests that ALL HOLY ROSARIES prayed at St Mary’s during the novena be prayed for the completion of the work at Priory Court ;
Also, that as much as possible all HOLY COMMUNIONS be offered for the same intentions.
We still anticipate that the new space will be accessible, even though not finished, for the blessing by Archbishop McMahon on 24th June, 4pm.

We thank Canon Cunningham for welcoming all worshippers at St Alban’s as on previous years. Watch the great video here. Send Kelly Williams your best pictures.
Silver reliquaries now enrich the altar. Purchased in Walsingham following our Shrine pilgrimage last month, their shape echoes that of the remaining arch of the destroyed priory in Walsingham. They contain the relics of Sts Philip Neri, John Henry Newman, Gemma Galgani and Bd Pier Giorgio Frassati. May the saints intercede for us to restore our own PRIORY (Court), and for our community.

Annual Corpus Christi procession on Sunday 11 June 2023, after the 11.00am High Mass. “At the end of Mass, we too will go out; we will go forth with Jesus, who will pass through the streets of this city.” (Pope Francis, Corpus Christi Homily 3 June 2018, Ostia)
Like every year, the procession will start from St Mary’s and across town to St Alban’s, the mother church of Warrington. Duration (slow pace): 45 minutes. With our First Communicants. We will sing hymns and pray the Rosary. Any one welcome, regardless of where they normally attend Holy Mass. What to wear? To honour the Blessed Sacrament – that is, God Himself – carried along our streets, let us make a special effort to wear our Sunday best: for instance, dresses for ladies and girls, suits for men and boys. Arrival around 1:15pm at St Alban’s: Bewsey Street, Warrington, WA2 7JQ. We are grateful to Canon Christopher Cunningham, parish priest of St Alban’s and Sacred Heart, who welcomes Eucharistic worshippers again this year in his beautiful church.
Please note that this event is for any Catholic, whether from Warrington or from outside. Do invite people to come from far and wide to walk by Our Lord and sing, giving this beautiful witness of the Eucharistic presence. See earlier pictures here.
Thank you in advance to volunteers: servers, singers, clergy, canopy bearers, stewards, flower petals gatherers, photographer, and worshippers in general.
Fr de Malleray thanks you for your prayers during his past pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Converts’ class: interested in Catholicism? Contact us to meet with a priest and fellow inquirers. Formation cycle will start again in September.

PHASE 3: Top Floor conversion into 12 bedrooms for Shrine pilgrims + external safety staircases
The overall contract cost of Phase 1 is just over £400k, but VAT, contingencies and fees add a further £130-135k depending on input required. Thankfully we have already secured £485k, but we urgently need to raise circa £50k to cover the deficit and complete this current phase. Any surplus raised would be carried over into Phases 2 and 3 which combined are currently costed an additional £490k (including VAT) but recent scheme changes give us hope that these costs can be brought down so are not yet fixed. Updated figures will be available for the next edition of Dowry. Should funds raised exceed final completion costs, they would be used to support the running costs of the new facility and adjacent Shrine.
