The Papal Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Antonio Mennini, speaking on behalf of Pope Francis, said: “It gives me great joy to be here today for the installation of your new Archbishop, especially as you have chosen this particular day of St Joseph the Worker. This marks a new beginning for you all.” Following the Gospel, Archbishop Malcolm McMahon gave an inspiring homily during which he highlighted the Hillsborough inquests as a shining example of the search for truth. Archbishop McMahon said that justice will be done for the 96 people who lost their lives and for their relatives. He said the families of the victims had shown a dignity over the last quarter century, which was an example to everybody. "God has endowed the people of Liverpool, Lancashire and the Isle of Man with many great gifts, not least constancy in our Catholic faith,” he said. “The Martyrs of Lancashire testify to their love of Jesus’ name and their fidelity to the truth.

  • Parish Priest's Report 2011
    The Oratory Catholic Church of St Aloysius, Oxford Parish Priest’s Report 2011 2011 has been another busy and grace-filled year for our parish, with many events to report. In addition to the statistics attached, we have also seen two ordinations: both of the same person – Fr Nicholas - first to the diaconate and then to the priesthood, and the clothing of a novice: Br Oliver. In February, Fr Daniel was elected Provost, and Fr Robert has taken a well-earned sabbatical after over 20 years as Superior. He went first to the Oratory in Genoa and then (after the American visa finally arrived) to the Philadelphia Oratory. Fr Richard has returned to us after his time as Provost of the Birmingham Oratory, meaning that we now have nine members of the Oratorian community here. Funerals have taken place in our church in 2011 of Mary Abel, Alexandra Konopelska, Martin Moran, Mary Burnell, Paul Carroll, Basil Burwood-Taylor, Mary Selwood, Andy Sivewright, Patrick O’Kane, Vera Ryhajlo and Caja Bayley. Since the beginning of 2012 we have also had the funerals of Professor Sir Michael Dummett, Valerie McNichol, Baby Marco Pezzini and David Whitaker. May they rest in peace. Obituaries for David Whitaker and Sir Michael Dummett have been printed in the national newspapers, so it will suffice to say that we shall miss the twice-yearly confusion of the Emeritus Wykeham Professor of Logic whenever the clocks went back or forward. I would like to single out two of those who died during 2011 who were particularly long-standing and faithful parishioners: Mary Burnell was the inspiration of the St Aloysius’ Drama group since the 1950s.

Das bahnbrechende Album bildete den Auftakt zu einer grandiosen Karriere, in deren Verlauf Texas global 40 Millionen Alben verkauften und weltweit Fans in ihre Konzerte zogen. Diese ikonische Scheibe wird die Band um die charismatische Sängerin und Songwriterin Sharleen Spiteri komplett vortragen, inklusive Hits wie „I Don’t Want a Lover“ und „Thrill Has Gone“. Natürlich dürfen bei dieser Show auch die übrigen Texas-Hits wie etwa „Summer Son“, „Inner Smile“ und „Say What You Want“ nicht fehlen. Die Schotten gastieren am 15.11.2020 in der Großen Freiheit 36 in Hamburg. Texas wurden 1986 in Glasgow von Bassist Johnny McElhone gegründet. Der Name der Band stammt von dem Wim-Wenders-Film „Paris, Texas“, für den Ry Cooder seinerzeit den Soundtrack komponierte. Mit Frontfrau Sharleen Spiteri fand die Kapelle eine kreative Persönlichkeit, die den Sound des Septetts bis heute entscheidend prägt. Musikalisch sind Texas von Northern Soul, Disco sowie den Bee Gees und Orange Juice beeinflusst. „Southside“ wurde im März 1989 veröffentlicht und verkaufte sich weltweit rund zwei Millionen Mal. Als erste Single wurde „I Don´t Want a Lover“ ausgekoppelt, die prompt auf Platz 8 der UK Charts landete. Es folgten Tourneen durch Europa und den USA. Im Verlauf ihrer Karriere präsentierten die Schotten weitere Bestseller-Alben auf, darunter: „White On Blonde“ (1997), „The Hush“ (1999) und natürlich „The Greatest Hits“ (2000). Letztere stellt mit rund fünf Millionen verkaufter Einheiten die bislang erfolgreichste Veröffentlichung der Band dar.

  • IBELIEVE in God the Father Almighty
    Westminster Abbey EVENSONG MARKING THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ANGLICAN CENTRE IN ROME Tuesday 14th June 2016 5.00 pm THE ANGLICAN CENTRE IN ROME The Anglican Centre in Rome was established by the Anglican Communion in 1966 in response to the ecumenical opportunities opened up by the Second Vatican Council. It is the base for the Representative of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Holy See. The Centre was dedicated on 22nd March 1966 by Archbishop Michael Ramsey, and officially opened on 5th October 1966 by Cardinal Willebrands who said, ‘The Centre will contribute to research, by studies, by conversation, to the dialogue which will be developed in the immediate future. It will contribute by personal contact, by thought, by prayer.’ That is a good definition of what the Centre has done for the last fifty years, and continues to do, contributing to the development of a much closer relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion after four centuries of separation. Throughout this period the Centre has occupied an apartment in the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, in the centre of historic Rome, leased to the Centre by the Doria Pamphilj family at a very modest rent. In 1992 the Centre, which had been funded directly by the Anglican Communion, was incorporated as a UK charity, established to operate and raise funds for the Centre on behalf of the Anglican Communion. The Centre has a library of Anglican theology (about 14,000 volumes) to make information about Anglicanism available to the academic community in Rome. The Centre runs courses to enable Anglicans to become more familiar with the Roman Catholic Church, and symposia to discuss issues of mutual interest.

St Columba’s Cathedral in Oban was filled to capacity on the evening of February 18 for the consecration of Bishop Brian McGee by Archbishop Leo Cushley, Bishop Joseph Toal and Bishop John Keenan. “Fr Brian is being sent to you, my dear brothers and sisters, precisely to preach the Good News to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken, anointed as he will shortly be, by the Gift of the Spirit and commissioned by God’s Church to serve you,” Archbishop Cushley said in the presence of Bishop Toal, whom Bishop McGee follows as diocesan bishop, and Bishop Keenan, ‘up until now my boss,’ according to the new bishop who was vicar general in Paisley. The Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh and the bishops of Motherwell and Paisley were joined at the celebration by the Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Antonio Mennini; Cardinal Sean Brady of Ireland; their brother bishops in Scotland, including Bishops’ Conference President Archbishop Philip Tartaglia; the clergy and parishioners of the geographically large Argyll and the Isles Diocese; and the families of the diocese’s bishops, past and present.
