Our Corpus Christi procession after the 1.00 p.m. Mass at St. Patrick's on Sunday was a successful and memorable occasion and my wife said that several passengers in cars filmed or photographed the procession. A variety of Eucharistic hymns was sung as about 50 of us accompanied the Blessed Sacrament around the block and back to church for Benediction.
Thank you to the gentlemen who assisted in carrying the canopy. There had also been a procession earlier through the streets round St. Joseph's in Manchester Road - our old venue.

I have been asked to advertise the following talk later this month which I shall be attending myself.
OUT OF THE ORDINARY: SINGING THE PROPER TEXTS AT MASS
FR GUY NICHOLLS, DIRECTOR OF THE J.H. NEWMAN INSTITUTE OF LITURGICAL MUSIC 14TH JUNE 7.00 PM, HINSLEY HALL, LEEDS
TO REGISTER, PLEASE EMAIL HENRY.LONGBOTTOM@DIOCESEOFLEEDS.ORG.UK
This week marks the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We shall sing the National Anthem after Mass next Sunday at St. Patrick's.
The Holy Father announced the elevation of Archbishop Roche, our bishop emeritus, to the cardinalate at a consistory to be held in August. Ad multos annos!
Cardinal Arthur Hinsley, of happy memory, is another Yorkshireman who was made a Cardinal and I was privileged to attend the Bradford school named after him. Hinsley had originally founded St. Bede's Grammar School in Bradford. Cardinal Hinsley Grammar School at Tong was built in the 1960s to accommodate the bourgeoning post war Catholic community in South Bradford. Sadly the school no longer exists. The much diminished Catholic community in Bradford is a sad sign of the post-conciliar times.
Next month sees the Feast of Corpus Christi and we are marking the occasion with a procession of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction following the Mass at St. Patrick's.

Thanks to Fr. Frantisek for yesterday's sung Mass. Over the last few years I have only heard very few pro-life sermons, but his sermon is the best I have ever heard on this important subject. He pulled no punches and called out abortion for what it is. It was also very encouraging to see so many new faces at Mass.
