22 July - August 2020 Our confidence in God is certain precisely because it is placed in God and not in ourselves. Left to ourselves, salvation is impossible: “but with God all things are possible.” (Mt. 19:26)

Yet hope’s motive is not simply the omnipotence of God, that God can save us. A man in despair could believe, for example, that God Almighty can save anybody from ultimate ruin, but that He won’t save him. Such is the prospect of faith unsupported by hope! Rather, it is the actual exercise of that power on our behalf which is our assurance “I hope he isn’t going to make a that our hope is not vain. In short, mess of it.” Fr.

Edel possessed a great love for the Holy Eucharist from her earliest years and while at school she became a daily communicant. This love was to grow unceasingly until her death. Later on, when she was in Africa, Edel was known to fast for over 15 hours so that as soon as she was able to hear Mass, she would be able to receive Holy Communion.

The coronavirus crisis gave impetus to our audio-visual apostolate. From a standing start, an electric burst of innovation had the fathers recording sermons, live-streaming ceremonies and giving online instruction to the faithful. We were busier than ever before! Deo gratias.

38 July - August 2020 Live-streaming at Holy Cross Church, Woking enabled us to show-off not only the exquisite beauty of our chapel, but also our A-team of altar servers and the burgeoning excellence of the choir. Many thanks are due to all who worked hard to make it possible. We intend to continue the live-streaming after the crisis. Please note: from July, Mass will be at 10:30am at Woking.

47 The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of common life without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains to it.

Since its foundation by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, the Society has formed priests according to the immemorial teachings of the Catholic Church. By offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the traditional Latin rite and administering the sacraments according to the traditional rites in vigour in 1962 (before the Second Vatican Council 1962-5), the Society’s priests perpetuate what the Church has taught and done throughout its history. By the exercise of the teaching office of its priests, the Society fights against the errors that presently afflict the Church.
