Mass continues to be celebrated at St Margaret Mary's Church, 75 Scalegate Rd, Carlisle CA2 4JX, every Saturday at 10 am. Usually it is a low Mass with one per month being sung.
Thanks are due to Canon Luiz Ruscillo and Fr Paul Harrison, who faithfully celebrate these Masses despite many other demands on their time and attention.
Our Schola, led by Andrew Plasom-Scott, recently lost one of its voices, Dawid Klewicki, to the Dominican novitiate and now seeks additional talent.
Some good news is that the 12:00 Mass in Preston has resumed, and so there are now two Masses daily at 08:30 & 12:00, and three on Sundays- 08:30 (Low), 10:30 (High) and 18:30 (Low).
There's also good news for the church, with a lottery grant to keep the weather out!
Autumn brings with it a new academic year, so Masses on Friday evenings at the University resume from week commencing 28th September.
Changes to Staff at St Walburge's mean an increase in the number of Masses there.
Mass at the Chaplaincy Centre in Lancaster University will be finishing for the summer at the end of this week, when Mass will likely be at 8AM. The weekly schedule there is usually on their Facebook page too, and if you want Canon Docherty to say Mass for a particular intention, you can ask for that in advance of the autumn term, here.
Friday's Mass involved two candles more than usual (but no Fork Handles!), as someone kindly sang for us.
Now that term time is upon is again, Mass resumes at the University until the summer break on Friday evenings, every week, at 6PM.
These Masses are open to the public too, and parking is free at that time of day. Why not take advantage of the light nights and pop along?
