THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the patron - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”.

ALMS FOR HOLY SOULS Second Council of Lyons (1274) & Council of Florence (1439): "For the alleviation of the pun- ishments [of purgatory], these are profitable to the poor souls: The Sacrifice of the Mass, , alms and other works of piety. "

All offerings will be used towards the seminary fees of our four seminarians. This is highly ap- propriate because a priest is ordained to offer Mass for both the living and the dead.

“Receive the power to offer the Sacrifice to God and to celebrate Masses for the living and the dead.” Above: Rev. Fr. Thomas O'Hart celebrated a "First" Mass on the feast of St. Michael Archangel.

Right & Below: We say farewell and thank you to Br. Columba after eight years at St. Michael's. We pray that he can continue his vocation to help the most innocent - the unborn children and the newborn lambs - at the Dominican Priory of Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire in Belgium. Br. Columba was a pillar of the group who regularly prayed outside the abortion clinic in Ealing. More recruits are required for this apostolate!

Numbers attending Mass at East Hendred grew steadily as the modernist revolution wreaked havoc within the Church. Father Wrighton gave his wholehearted support to Archbishop Lefebvre’s seminary at Ecône and professed himself truly blessed to have lived long enough to see the of the four bishops in 1988; and it was only a few weeks later that the kindly old priest was summoned to receive his eternal reward.

But the good Lord did not leave that body of His faithful bereft for it was then that Father Michael Crowdy appeared over the Oxfordshire horizon and Miss Penelope Renold, who had done so much already to support the SSPX in England, found the Women's Institute Hall in Middle Way – smack next door to the Christian Spiritualist Church, (not that anyone ever confused the two!). This rented acquisition in 1988 gave the Oxford faithful their first consistent place of worship and I Rev. Fr. Gary Holden think we could say that the Oxford Mass Centre might be defined

By 1998, Fr. Crowdy was contemplating his own retirement and Dom Andrew Southwell of the FSSP was introduced to the OMC. However, as the majority of the congregation favoured the SSPX, the District Superior, Fr. Emily, kindly agreed to supply priests from Burghclere. There then followed the inevitable split of loyalties and, in the meantime, the W.I. notified us of their intention to put the hall onto the market for development.

After a desperate search all over the city, suitable accommodation was found quite literally just around the corner at the North Oxford Conservative Club, complete with free parking on the premises!

Within the Octave of Saint Andrew A wounded US Marine named Michael wrote to his mother during the Korean the Octave of Christmas Christmas (Comm. of Christmas Novena War in 1950: “You remember the prayer to Saint Michael that you taught me St. Sylvester I , To be prayed 15 times daily from to pray when I was little: Michael, Michael of the morning... Before I left Pope, Confessor) the Feast of St. Andrew until Christmas: home for Korea, you urged me to remember this prayer before any 30 31 2 cl. Hail, and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most confrontation with the enemy.” He went on to describe how, on patrol in the pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in company of a mysterious fellow soldier – also called Michael – he had recently Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, encountered seven armed Communists. The last thing he recalled before losing vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and consciousness from a bullet wound was the sight of Michael attacking the grant my desires, through the merits of Our enemy with a sword. When he revived, the stranger had disappeared, and Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed seven enemy soldiers lay dead from sword wounds! Mother. Amen.

47 THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the patron saint - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of common life of the organization’s core values, showing without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains ourselves fully “in the light”. to it.

Since its foundation by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, the Society has formed priests according to the immemorial teachings of the . 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.
