All Saints 1 November AD 2018

Forthcoming Traditional Latin Masses at St Wulstan’s

++ Missa Cantata ++ 3:00 p.m. on Sunday 11 November Requiem Mass for the Fallen

Mass on the Centenary of the Armistice will be a Sung Requiem Mass for the Fallen and preparations are already well under way: the parish catafalque and funeral pall have been unearthed; the six wrought iron funeral candle stands for the catafalque have been cleaned and repainted; and even a set of antique black vestments has been acquired.

The Requiem Mass will be offered in what is now formally called the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, but which would have been entirely familiar to Catholics of all sides at the time of both World Wars.

The celebrant will be Dom Jonathan Rollinson OSB. Mass will be sung by Schola Gregoriana Malverniensis.

++ Missa Cantata ++ 3:00 p.m. on Sunday 25 November 24th & Last Sunday after Pentecost

The celebrant will be Dom Jonathan Rollinson OSB. Mass will be sung by Schola Parva. This Mass will mark the first anniversary of our move from Spetchley Park to St Wulstan’s.

St Martha & Agatha veils

It has recently come to my attention that one of our growing flock sells a range of chapel veils online. If you are considering buying a veil, why not go and see what is on offer at StMarthaandAgatha.

Mass of Ages is the quarterly magazine of the Latin Mass Society. It contains reports on our many activities across the country, news of Traditional Catholic events, articles on aspects of traditional Faith and culture, and opinions on developments in the Catholic Church.

A few copies of the latest edition, will be available on the table to the back of church. Mass of Ages is free to non-members; members receive their personal copies in the post.

Accountability

It is common practice in many parishes to publish details of Mass Attendance and Offertory Collections in the weekly bulletin. The corresponding information for Masses organised by Extraordinary Malvern is available in graphical form on the website. See the “Accountability” page for current details which for now show a slow but steady increase in average attendance, with a record-breaking 43 attending Mass on 28 October!
