Remembrance Sunday at St Walburge's

We joined a full congregation to give worthy remembrance to those who have died in conflict. A Solemn High Requiem Mass was said at the war memorial altar, followed by the reading of the names of members of the parish who died in the two world wars. A huge catafalque was situated at the front of the sanctuary which was incensed at the end of the Mass.

Good news from ICKSP Preston

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest in Preston is going from strength to strength. Not only have they recently set up a school to cater for the families who are moving into the area, but they have also been invited to be responsible for an additional church in Preston. In a press release last week it was announced that the church of St Thomas of Canterbury & the English Martyrs, Garstang Road, Preston, would be administered by the Institute from the autumn; read the article here

They are also inviting young men over 18 who may be considering a vocation with the Institute to their House of Discernment which commences this November. Full details below.
