Latin Mass (EF) at UK Operations HQ

I received this encouraging information today from Cdr McNally:
LATIN MASS AT UK’S OPERATIONS HEADQUARTERS

On Tuesday 1 February, Feast of St Ignatius of Antioch, a Latin Mass (EF) will be celebrated in the church of St Christopher at the Headquarters of the UK’s Chief of Joint Operations and the Commander in Chief Fleet, based at Northwood, to the north of London. The church is not accessible to members of the public, however, the information will be of particular interest to military and civilian staff who are based at, or are visiting the Headquarters. The Mass will be at 1230 and there will be Confessions beforehand at 1200.

The church at the Base is of modern design and newly built within the last two years to replace an older building. It is shared with other Christian faith groups. Mass is celebrated in the church twice per month and this will be the first Latin Mass in the living memory of those in the Headquarters. The Northwood Headquarters is where all the UK’s world-wide operations are directed.

Who will be the celebrant? Does anyone know?

I know from one military chaplain the the usus antiquior is particularly popular with soldiers. So let us hope that this is the beginning of something much bigger.

Yes, Et Expecto, I know.

But I couldn't possibly say.

Are you Tony Blair in disguise?

That sounds like one of his responses at Chilcott Inquiry www.iraqinquiry.org.uk

Sad to read this.

I know how it feels to be excluded too.

Today is THE LAST DAY of the Chilcott Inquiry, and it will close after Jack Straw aka B-LIARS BIG BEAST aka Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, 2001 to 2006 gives evidence 09:30 - 12:30.

Could you ask good Bishop Richard Moth to inform us as to the identity of the celebrant who performed the LATIN MASS AT UK’S OPERATIONS HEADQUARTERS?
