(No Cathedral Mass on Easter Sunday)


This weekend sees Passion Sunday and the statues should be now veiled in purple to signify our Lord's hiding from view as recalled in the Gospel. As we are henceforth in Passiontide the Judica me and the Gloria patri are omitted at Mass. We have two Masses:

11.00 a.m. Sacred Heart, Broughton Hall, Skipton missa cantata
12.30 p.m. St. Joseph's, Pakington Street, Bradford

This Saturday at 3.00 p.m. there will be Mass in the Ordinariate Rite at St. Joseph's, Bradford. It is nice to see other people at this Mass who also go to the EF Masses on Sunday.
