Yesterday was, of course, Laetare Sunday and therefore the occasion for the wearing of Rose vestments. Since we have a full set at Blackfen, I try to make sure that we have High Mass on this day. Dr Alcuin Reid assisted as Deacon, and Rev John Harrison from St Mary's Chislehurst was Subdeacon. I think we managed to avoid any serious liturgical abuses.
Many thanks as ever to Damian Thompson and Fr John Zuhlsdorf who kindly enabled Blackfen to unite in Christian joy with these vestments by encouraging their readers to fund them - and many thanks to all our benefactors.

Any liturgical abuses and mistakes are the sole responsibility of the Master of Ceremonies of course...
Father Tim,
I've been asked to ask: is anything happening by way of the Traditional Rite for St. Joseph's Day?
There will be Missa Cantata at St Mary's Chislehurst at 7.30pm. (I have my confirmation rehearsal that evening.)
If you are looking further afield, probably best to contact the Latin Mass Society office.
