Birmingham Oratory High Altar
Last night we had traditional solemn Vespers with four pluvialists (cantors wearing copes) followed by solemn Benediction. One seminarian from Oscott who came thanked the Fathers afterwards for the opportunity to participate in the "Bible service with Hymns" - an excellent example of seminary wit!

That is so beautiful! I wish Churches were still constructed with the sacred in mind. It's so sad to go into a Catholic Church and have to look around to see if there is a red lamp of the Tabernacle to know for sure you are in a Catholic Church.
Wow! i'm gonna pinch some of those photos!
i meant to say that the man in the Church is sacristan Michael ...a very humble & holy man.
