Next month, I will be visiting the diocese of Portsmouth for two events organised by the Latin Mass Society.
On Friday 14 March, I will be saying Mass at 5pm, followed by Benediction, at the beautiful Church of St Mary's Ryde, pictured above. in the morning, I will cross the Solent on the catermeran with members of the Latin Mass Society which is thriving on the Island, to visit St John's Cathedral at Portsmouth to preach a Day of Recollection for the Society. Here is the programme, from the Portsmouth section of the LMS website:
Annual Lenten Day of Recollection 2008

It sounds splendid.
I wish I could be there.
nice, if i didnt live in Canada, i would certainly love to attend.
hopefuly i'll be over this spring!
i am wondering is not Quarr Abbey on the Island, close by? and do they not host such events or have the ocassional Classicaal Rite?
pax!
Quarr is indeed quite near. Like Pluscarden, the Abbey has chosen to stick with the Novus Ordo celebrated with fidelity to the liturgical norms and with exemplary reverence. I am not aware of any plans to celebrate the classical form of the rite there.
We shall try to come along - it sounds like the perfect way to start off Holy Week.
I look forward to seeing you. (It is good to see that you have started a family blog.)
