I mentioned a while back that I will be celebrating a High Mass in the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite at Our Lady of the Rosary, Blackfen at 12noon on Friday 14 September, in thanksgiving for the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. Fr John Zuhlsdorf of What Does the Prayer Really Say? has kindly agreed to preach at the Mass.Originally, I intended to put on a formal lunch for clergy. However, a number of lay people will be travelling specially for the Mass so I have decided, after some thought, to invite everyone for a buffet lunch in the Parish Hall. Many thanks to the Union of Catholic Mothers for kindly taking on responsibility for preparing the lunch. I will arrange another occasion in the near future especially for the clergy.
Any of you who can come will be most welcome. Clergy are invited to attend in Choir - please bring your cassock and cotta and a biretta if you have one. It will help to have some idea of who is coming (clergy and laity) so please leave a comment here if you are intending to stay for lunch (put "Not for Publication" at the top if you wish and I will respect that.)
Since I first announced this, a number of other similar celebrations have been arranged, notably:
London Oratory: 7pm High Mass (reception afterwards in St Wilfrid's Hall)
Manchester: St Chad's, Cheetham Hill (Canons Regular of Premontré) Solemn Mass and Te Deum (Mozart’s Solemn Mass No.4 in C minor (Wailenhausmesse) KV139)
Glasgow: 7pm Mass (probably High Mass) in the chapel of Nazareth House followed by refreshments. All are very welcome.
Edinburgh: 6.15pm Sung Mass at St Andrews Church, Belford Rd

Dang. I'm going to be a week late.
But I will be in London on the 22nd to go to some sort of posh Catholic monarchist Jacobite thing I've been invited to.
Imagine how glorious the day will be for the Lord on this feast day, with so many in worship. Thanks to Pope Benedict XVI, many will be giving Our Lord his due that evening.
I hope our parishes are packed and that our prayers are pleasing to God as they rise with the sweet smell of incense.
I do hope Fr. Z will capture his talk and create a Podcazt with it.
Assumption Grotto in Detroit will also be celebrating at 7:00pm local time.
I hope your parish is packed and look forward to pictures if someone can take a few. I have already gotten permission to take some from Grotto that evening and will pull double-duty by singing in the choir.
Father,
The Mass in Manchester on 14th Seopt is at 7:30pm. Oremus pro invicem.
Father, could you possibly mention that there will be a September 14th Sung (hopefully High) Mass and celebration of Summorum Pontificum in Glasgow?
The Mass begins at 7pm in the chapel of Nazareth House and will be followed by refreshments. All are very welcome!
I intend to attend the Mass and assist in choir and then stay for the buffet.
Father,
The Mass in Manchester is a High Mass at 7:30pm.
I dearly wish I could be there.
But it is, I fear, much too far away.
Perhaps Father Tim might post a few photos ?
Inspired by Fr. E's recipe (which he so kindly posted last July), I've rather adventurously invented my own celebration cocktail.
But I was slightly miffed to find a similar cocktail already exists, called a Mimosa, I think.
Truly, there is nothing new under the sun.
And I haven't thought of a suitable name for it yet.
Dear Fr,
this is not a comment, but a query as to why government consultation on a new all embracing discrimination law seems to have gone unnoticed. Closing date is 4th Sept. I only heard yesterday. The Christian Lawyers fellowship are asking Christians to respond.
It is buried in www.communities.gov.uk Replies go to;
kate.hepher@communities.gsi.gov.uk
We wont be able to open our mouths if it gets into law.Harassment will mean what they say it means, especially if you say 'you know what' is wrong.
Hope you can publish something.( Maybe I missed it earlier on your blog).
Regards, Ken
Ken - yes, just heard about it from the LCF. Preparing a post...
Dr W - we actually have an official photographer (Vernon Quaintance) who will post photos asap.
Many thanks for info about Manchester & other Masses.
Dr W, why not call your Summorum Pontificum Cocktail "a dry Montini'?
Father E.,
Many thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, that will do perfectly !
Thank you.
Sung Mass at St Andrews Church, Belford Rd Edinburgh at 6:15 pm., September 14th.
As you have indicated in one of your replies, I will be doing the photography at the Mass. I hope to have the pictures online at http://www.traditionalcatholic.org.uk the same day, but certainly by the end of Saturday.
I would also like to attend the buffet lunch after the Mass.
A thought - do the rules on "vigil" Masses now apply to the Extraordinary Rite? If so, then Summorum Pontificum actually comes into force on the evening of the 13th....
