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.

Church boiler now mended: it’s almost too hot!

Now roof leaking into Choir Loft down into Narthex… Pray for dry weather to fix it!

Thank you for helping us through the Offertory collection and standing orders. While the overall income is still far from covering the actual expenses of the Shrine, it is comforting to see how generously you respond. Some of our worshippers are also involved in other parish communities (Polish, Syro-Malabarese or Ordinariate): we thank them for supporting St Mary’s Shrine as well, where they benefit from daily Mass, Confession and other spiritual goods. Lastly we thank our benefactors who pray with us remotely via LiveMass.net. Some of them live far away and yet, they have chosen to donate online to St Mary’s Shrine according to our needs and to their means. God bless you all.

Support St Mary’s Shrine: send your donation via our Donate page: https://fssp.co.uk/donate/. Ask us for a Gift Aid form to increase your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you. Gift Aid envelopes can be obtained from our Secretariat. Standing orders are easier and quicker for us to process than cash: Lloyds Bank ;

Dowry Mag No51 online: fssp.org.uk/category/dowry/,

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).

Marian & Pro-life Gaudete Sunday on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, 12^th December 2021.
