Sunday Mass at Saint Patrick's at 1.00 p.m. for the third Sunday after Easter will be a Low Mass.
Confessions by request after Mass.
Apologies for the late post.
It is very encouraging to see so many new faces and young families at the Masses at Saint Patrick's. I think it would be impossible to say that the community at Saint Patrick's is anything but a stable group.
Our Low Mass at 1.00 p.m. on Sunday at Saint Patrick's for the second Sunday of Easter will be a Low Mass.
Confessions at call.
I hope everybody has had a joyful week.
At the very last moment I decided to go to Krakow for a couple of days. I have, over the years, attended the old Mass (and the New Mass) at several churches and chapels in and around Krakow, including the cathedral.
The old Mass is no longer offered daily at the cathedral, as the FFSP now have use of the Immaculate Conception church, which is in the typical Polish Baroque style on the Copernicus Street.
On Tuesday, the evening Mass was missa solemnis and what the schola lacked in technique they made up for in volume and enthusiasm. Photo above.
On Wednesday, it was missa lecta with our friends again accompanying the Mass with even more powerful organ accompaniment and undiminished vigour.
On both evenings the church was touching full with the majority of congregants under 40. I was definitely in the minority age wise.
At the Cistercian Abbey in Nowa Huta, I met a lay member of the diocesan synod who was more than sympathetic to the continued existence and promotion of the old Mass. He believed the new Cardinal of Krakow, Mgr Rys, is similarly disposed.
It was charming on the way to the airport yesterday morning to see about 20 little kids in hi viz jackets crossing the road. Two by two these kids were holding hands as they walked behind and in front of highly recognisable and equally visible teaching sisters.
Sunday's Mass is also called Low Sunday and Divine Mercy Sunday.
The 1.00 p.m. Mass at Saint Patrick's in Bradford will be a Low Mass.
Confessions before Mass.

Happy Easter and God bless!
Things went very smoothly at tonight's Holy Thursday Mass and it was good to see so many new faces.
Like last year, Bradford City are at home, with kick off at 3.00 p.m.
Please set off a few minutes earlier if you are intending to come to the Liturgy at 3.00 p.m. Parking will not be affected by the match, but it will be busy along Manningham Lane and Queen's Road.
I shall go along Canal Road and up Hamm Strasse.
