HELPING HOLY SOULS: On All Souls, the four priests at St Mary’s offered 12 Holy Masses of Requiem. Globally though, the 355 priests of the FSSP worldwide offered over one thousand (1065 exactly) Holy Masses of Requiem within one day.
Reminder: plenary indulgence:
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.

Reminder on All Saints (1st Nov): “On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass.” (cf Catholic Code of Canon Law, 1247). A grave cause is needed to excuse from the obligation. In case of doubt, consult your priest in advance. Missing Holy Mass on those days without a grave cause is a mortal sin.

CSP PRAYER: O Lord Jesus, born to give testimony to the Truth, Thou who lovest unto the end those whom Thou hast chosen, kindly hear our prayers for our pastors. Thou who knowest all things, knowest that they love Thee and can do all things in Thee who strengthenest them. Sanctify them in Truth. Pour into them, we beseech Thee, the Spirit whom Thou didst give to Thy apostles, who would make them, in all things, like unto Thee. Receive the homage of love which they offer up to Thee, who hast graciously received the threefold confession of Peter. And so that a pure oblation may everywhere be offered without ceasing unto the Most Holy Trinity, graciously enrich their number and keep them in Thy love, who art one with the Father and the Holy Ghost, to whom be glory and honour forever. Amen.

The cost is £10 per class for one hour and the time is from 3 p.m. to 5.p.m. on Saturdays.

Those were the first EF priestly ordinations by a diocesan bishop in England in fifty years. Please pray for them (www.fssp.org/en/help-us/confraternity-of-saint-peter/) and for many more to enter the lists! We give thanks for 12 of priests ordained over the past 20 years: Fr Konrad Loewenstein in 2002; Fr Brendan Gerard in 2006; Frs Matthew Goddard and William Barker in 2009; Fr Simon Harkins in 2010; Fr Matthew McCarthy in 2011; Fr Ian Verrier in 2015; Fr James Mawdsley in 2016; Frs Alex Stewart and Krzysztof Sanetra in 2017; Fr Seth Phipps in 2018; Fr Gwilym Evans in 2022.
THE X-MEN?
As of September 2022, for the first time the number of FSSP priests serving in the UK & Ireland has reached a double figure: Fr Patrick O’Donohue in Waterford, Frs Brendan Gerard and John Emerson in Edinburgh, Frs Armand de Malleray, Ian Verrier, Alex Stewart and Gerard Quirke in Warrington, and Frs Matthew Goddard, Seth Phipps and Gwilym Evans in Reading. Thus, it is now ten priests in total (“X” in Latin) serving souls in these Isles. There will be work for many more!
Please pray for us. We assure you of our prayer.
O Lord, grant us many holy priests!
A young woman formerly a member of our congregation at St Mary’s Shrine is to make her first Temporary Profession as a religious sister on 11th October in America as ‘Sister Mari Caritas’ (Welsh spelling). Her mother Alison Cotton will leave a large card on the table in the entrance to the Church for people to sign as a spiritual bouquet to be given to Sister.
Sr Mari Caritas
From Minneapolis in the USA where she has been for over two years, Sr Mari Caritas writes that she is “missing the country terribly”, but is happy to be offering her life in God’s service. She is praying for all of us at St Mary’s. Let us remember her in our own prayers and ask God that she may be sent back some day with her fellow sisters here in Our Lady’s Dowry where women religious are urgently needed.
Please also pray for Estefania, another young woman who travelled in the opposite direction. She left her native Colombia and settled in London where she became part of Juventutem London, our traditional youth group.
Juventutem Weekend at Douai Abbey, 2019. Now-Carmelite Nun, Estefania is first from left, second row (long hair). In fact, 4 young women on this picture are now religious nuns in traditional communities – other young adults got married, and some tried religious life or at at seminaries.
For over a year now she has been leading a cloistered life very close to St Mary’s, at Birkenhead Carmel, 45 minutes’ drive from us. She is soon to be clothed with the Carmelite habit as Sr Mary Magdalen of the Holy Face. Please pray for her, who on occasions attended Holy Mass at St Mary’s and who includes us all in her prayer and her life of joyful immolation.
A mother in another part of England requests our prayers for her daughter who has been caught in the ‘transgender’ trend and who is scheduled to have her body mutilated irreversibly in a fortnight. Please pray that this young lady might listen to Christ and Our Lady, assuring her that her God-given identity and integrity are to be treasured, not denied.
Bookbinding and book repair, by a member of St Mary’s Shrine congregation:

This course lays the foundation for reading and understanding simple Latin prose enabling the student to participate more fully in the Church’s liturgies. This course utilizes the natural method for learning Latin like any other modern language.
There will be two classes: 1 for beginners and one for intermediates(i.e. those who I taught last term).
The cost is £10 per class for one hour and the time is from 3 p.m. to 5.p.m. on Saturdays.
Fr de Malleray comments on the fear felt by many souls confronted with growing uncertainty in the Church and secular pressure from the world
The English Pope (Part One)
While another English cardinal has just been created, young convert and historian Adam Mercer describes the rise to prominence of one Nicholas Breakspear, who later become the first (and latest) English pope.
Homily for First Mass of Fr Gwilym Evans, FSSP
Fr de Malleray welcomes the newly ordained priest as he begins his pastoral ministry in England. Fr Evans is reminded of being a man of the sacred, better to serve souls, including the most vulnerable ones. Diligence and love for God, especially in the Blessed Sacrament, conditions a fruitful priestly life.
Can A Catholic Wear Tattoos?
Niall Patrick Carroll reflects on Fr Mike Schmitz’s “Awesome Tattoo”. Why this recent trend of tattoos, now spreading even among Catholics? What criteria help one discern whether tattoos are bad, indifferent or positive? Our souls are where the divine imprint should show, now and forever.
Mgr Benson’s Novels on Catholic Persecution
The newly started Cenacle Press at Silverstream Priory in Ireland has released a beautiful illustrated edition of Mgr Hugh Benson’s classic novels describing the persecution of Catholics in England under penal times. A timely reminder and an encouragement as genuine religious freedom is under threat even in Western countries.
The Sacred Liturgy as a Secret Garden
In his latest and short book, Fr de Malleray offers an analogy between Frances Hodgson Burnett’s pre-WWI tale for children and the revelation experienced in the 2020s by a growing number of adults stepping into the grace-filled haven of the traditional Roman liturgy.

Like all Catholics we pray for the repose of the soul of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who died on 8th September. Since her platinum jubilee we had started offering at her intention the traditional Prayer for the Sovereign after the main Sunday Mass. We will henceforth pray for King Charles III (cf Baronius missals p. 1604). O Lord, save Charles our King. R. And hear us in the day when we call upon Thee. Let us pray. We beseech Thee, almighty God, that Thy servant Charles our King, who has been called by Thy mercy to rule over this kingdom, may also receive from Thee an increase of all virtues. Fittingly adorned with these, may he be able to shun all evildoing and, finally, being well pleasing before Thee, together with his consort and the royal family, attain unto Thee who art the Way, the Truth and the Life. Through Christ Our Lord. R. Amen.

All must dress modestly in church out of reverence for God and of respect for fellow-worshippers. Ladies are encouraged to wear a veil or mantilla. Tops must cover bodies down to elbows and skirts at least below knees. No shorts, no t-shirts, no leggings. In addition, on Sundays and feasts Sunday best should be worn by all: i.e. suits or jackets and ties for gentlemen, dresses for ladies. Thank you.
ATTENTION: PLEASE NOTE:
The dress code notice above has been on this newsletter for a year. A good number of parishioners have heard the call to Sunday best. We thank them on behalf of all. If you are not yet among those, you are politely asked to consider wearing a suit (or jacket) and a tie (gentlemen), a dress (ladies) on Sundays and main feast. Thus, wearing just a shirt with open collar is better than a t-shirt, but still too casual. Dressing up on Sundays and main feasts is part of normal Catholic culture and worship. We are aware that it has been lost in many quarters of modern society. But it is part of the same values that you seek at St Mary’s. Therefore it is expected at St Mary’s Shrine. Please note that your clergy does the same: wearing better cassocks and sashes and shoes on Sundays, and more precious vestments in the sanctuary. You in the nave are naturally to be included in this shared expression of reverence and joy for the Day of the Lord. As we begin a new pastoral year, let us make a good fresh start.
Thank you for your fraternal cooperation.
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. Kindly switch OFF your mobile phonebefore you enter the church.
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.
Fr Gwilym Evans writes: Thank you so much to all who assisted at my First Mass at St Mary’s last month and to all those who so generously contributed to the collection for me. The total amount was an overwhelming £1250: a demonstration of the extraordinary kindness that you have shown me over the past months. I am also extremely grateful for the spiritual support that you have offered me, as I was preparing for ordination — for your many prayers and sacrifices. Please continue to pray that I may be a holy priest. I shall remember you all fondly in my prayers, and especially at the Altar. You and your friends are all very welcome to my First Mass in Wales at St Alban’s Church, Cardiff, on 17th September.
