Of your charity

Of your charity please pray for the repose of the soul of Mike Murphy who died earlier today. For many years Mike was our cantor and organist at Sacred Heart, Broughton, Saint Peter's, Saint Joseph's and Saint Patrick's in Bradford until his health failed him. 

Mike had been the master of music at Saint Anne's Cathedral in Leeds, led the Leeds Schola Gregoriana and was Head of Music at Saint Margaret Clitherow Grammar School, Bradford and Notre Dame Grammar School in Leeds. 

Mike was a talented musician, a very erudite man and gifted with a wonderful sense of humour. 

I shall miss him. May he rest in peace.

Remembrance Sunday

 

This Sunday is the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica marking seventeen hundred and one years since Pope Silvester dedicated the church in his house to our Lord and Saviour after it was given to him by the Emperor Constantine following his conversion to Christianity. 

However, as it is also Remembrance Sunday one Mass of requiem may be offered for the war dead in every church.

This Sunday's Mass at 1.00 p.m. at Saint Patrick's in Bradford will be followed by absolutions at the catafalque immediately after Mass.
