Henceforth, until the end of November we shall be using the readings from the unused Masses after the Epiphany, apart from the feast of Christ the King on the last Sunday of October.

Our next missa solemnis will be on the feast of the Immaculate Conception which is also the second Sunday of Advent - December 8th. This Mass will be a Byrd Mass and as such will include polyphony. Clergy, choir and servers have been sorted. 

Pentecost XXI

 Apologies for the late post. I have been in bed!

Despite feeling very unwell I joined part of the Diocesan Camino on Saturday, walking to St. Joseph's church at Bishop Thornton. The aim of the pilgrimage from the cathedral to St. Wilfrid's, Ripon was to pray for vocations to the priesthood. (The pilgrimage started on Friday.) It was, as ever, a gruelling (hence my need for sleep) but rewarding experience and this year I was joined by my eldest daughter and her three children. 

The next pilgrimage will be in March, I expect, as we walk from St. Anne's, Keighley over the moors to the Calvary at Myddleton in Ilkley. 

Mass today for the twenty-first Sunday of Pentecost at 1.00p.m. at St. Patrick's, Bradford will be a Low Mass.

I am delighted to say that plans are again well underway for another Solemn High Mass before the end of the year and I shall post details as soon as I have them. 

Pentecost XX

 The nights are drawing in upon us again and already Advent is on the horizon.

Mass tomorrow for the 20th Sunday of Pentecost will be Low Mass at St. Patrick's, Westgate, Bradford at the usual time of 1.00 p.m.
