The annual High Mass organised by the Latin Mass Society in St George’s Cathedral, Southwark, was celebrated last Saturday 6 December by Fr Andrew Southwell, assisted by Fr Peter Gee as Deacon and Fr Christopher Basden as Sub-deacon. The cathedral Dean, Canon James Cronin, preached about the life of St Nicholas and how Christians, inspired by St Nicholas, must never lose hope. The music was provided by the Cathedral choir under the direction of Nick Gale and the organ was played by Thomas Wilson, Precentor of Westminster Cathedral. Over 200 people were present at the Mass.John Medlin, LMS General Manager, said:
“It’s wonderful to come back to St George’s which is such a vibrant hub of Catholic life in South London. Canon Cronin makes us very welcome and it’s pleasing to see how easily the Extraordinary Form and Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite can work alongside each other to build up the liturgical life of the diocese. We’re looking forward to our next visit!”

Wonderful Photos of the Mass.
I have been away from reading blogs for awhile and I missed yours.
A question for any one out there: where might I get a copy of the EWTN broadcast of TRANSLATION OF THE RELICS OF JOHN HENRY NEWMAN.
I missed it and would be willing to make a donation for a copy on VHS or DVDr. I wroted EWTN and they said they don't own the copyright and to check with the ORATORY which I did but never received a response. Not the first time I contacted an Oratory in the U.K. and not heard back.
Anyway, if anyone can give mean assist I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you.
Dear Fr Tim,
Wonderful, and proof that Fr. Gee still exists.!!
More good news for Europe.
Paix Liturgique newsletter today announces that Cardinal Vingt-Trois
will offer an EF Mass in Paris this coming Sunday. Details on Oasis.
What are the chances of his example rubbing off on his friends in other parts of Europe do you think?!!
In union of prayer as always,
J
"Indeeeeeeeeeeed!!"
