Many of us have been looking forward eagerly to John Hunwicke's priestly ordination. Deo gratias this will be taking place next week on Wednesday 27 June at 7pm at the Oxford Oratory. I will be assisting at the Mass and one or two of my parishioners are going. Everyone is welcome so if you are in the area, do come.
Here, from Fr Hunwicke's Liturgical Notes is a further announcement:
Please come ... if you are able ... to the event mentioned in the previous post, in Oxford this coming Wednesday, June 27.By the way (and I was corrected on this myself by a friend of Fr Hunwicke) if you have only so far met him virtually, the name is pronounced "Hunnick", the w being silent.
I ALSO ANNOUNCE that, Deo volente, I plan to celebrate
First Mass in the Extraordinary Form; London at the Brompton Oratory.
Low Mass, Thursday June 28, 11.30; by kind permission of the Provost.
First Mass in the Ordinary Form; Oxford in the Church of the Holy Rood.
Solemn Vigil Mass of Sunday, Saturday June 30, 6.00, by kind permission of Fr Paul King and Mgr Andrew Burnham. I plan also to preach.
Please! I would love to see as many friends, whether or not we have met in the flesh, as possible.

Just received a note from Father, and will be going. If anyone is driving, please let me know.
Deo Gratias Fr Hunwicke on celebrating the wonderful EF of Mass!!! Perhaps we should be relying on Ordinariate priests to swell the numbers of traditionist celebrants
Many thanks for publicising the Mass in Brompton.
Great news and thank God, at last!
Regarding the pronunciation, I hadn't adverted to that until I heard him introduced at a talk he gave in Texas last year. As in 'Warwick', I should have known this!
However, here in the US people are not always aware of the nuances of the pronunciation of English proper names. Warwick is inevitably pronounced 'War-Wick". I gave up trying to set people straight on this a long time ago...
Of course we have the same problem here with Native American names. Try out 'Oconomowoc' or 'Chequamegon' for size...!
In the context of some coruscatingly eloquent speakers(yourself included) at the recent Oxford Street conference, John Hunwicke did not disappoint. My Latin master at school was a good man, but had JH taught me I would have had to go on to read Classics.
I shall certainly be there at his ordination.
