Friday 14 September is the date when all that is established by Summorum Pontificum will be considered "established and decreed". To celebrate, there will be a High Mass at Blackfen at 12noon, followed by the singing of the Te Deum. I have invited Fr John Zuhlsdorf of What Does the Prayer Really Say to preach at the Mass and I am very glad to hear from him today that he can accept the invitation.All are welcome to come to the Mass, of course. Clergy are invited to attend in choir (bring cassock and cotta - biretta if you have one) and are invited to lunch afterwards. Clergy who would like to join us are asked to add a comment here with your full name. State "Not for publication" if you do not wish the comment to be published. If you are coming, I will presume you are staying for lunch so please let me know if you are not.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to come to your parish that day, as I'll be in Compostela - but I'll say a prayer for you there.
I would love to come and especially to meet the good and admirable Fr Z.
Unfortunately we will be having some form of celebration here, quite what form this will take I am not sure yet.
Ooooh. Might just have to come, if I can work out the way--it's not your directions, it's me!
You're so organised!God bless the celebrations..
Now would that be a private Mass or a public one at all, at all, at all?
:o)
Cormac - private or not, you couldn't possibly go to such a divisive event.
Fr Ray -
Unfortunately we will be having some form of celebration here, quite what form this will take I am not sure yet.
Easy... hire a coach for a "Brighton Parish Mystery Motu Tour", and visit us in Blackfen... if you leave at 10am you should arrive in time for Mass...
;-)
Father:
I hope that you will be planning on audiotaping, or better, the 14 September Mass at Blackfen.
It would make a wonderful podcast.
I intend to come. I will start the laborious process of juggling the diary. We are having our celebrations at our weekly Sunday old-rite Mass on the Sunday. 8.30am if anyone is interested...

If there's to be a do afterwards, I'll try to come.
Yes, that will make a fine deadline for getting across the pond.
Sept. 14. I'll remember.
Warm up a beer for me.
Nuts! If it weren't for this big pond between us, I'd come.
Pictures, we need pictures. :D
Oh there will be pictures, Diane! Vernon Quaintance is an excellent photographer (See this post)
Yeah but can he make your church look like that?
No, that's my job - one can but try, little by little :-)
Speaking of inprovements to your Church Father; did you ever find any silver candlesticks suitable for your Lady Altar? And something else I wanted to ask; did you ever find out the name of that Sainted Pope's statue in the Benedicitine Church in Bristol?
Still looking for a set of 4 silver candlesticks with matching crucifix.
Sorry, I don't know that Church. (Anyone from Bristol who can help?)
Dear Fr Tim,
I am coming and will sing with the choir.
Te Deum laudamus!
Jamie Bogle.
Found a rather unusual, but beautiful altar crucifix for sale, on Canadian ebay:

If only it had matching candlesticks! =D.
And whaddaya mean you don’t know the Church? And after I went to all the trouble of getting my facts wrong =D.
Had a whip through previous posts and here’s the Church in question:

And the statue:

I’m guessing that the answer to my original question will still be no? :c).
Jamie - great you can come.

And after I went to all the trouble of getting my facts wrong LOL
No, sorry - no further than the speculation already in the combox there.
BTW - gentle hint... putting links in the combox
