Annual Requiem

The annual sung Requiem Mass for souls enrolled in the Cumbrian Purgatorial Society will be celebrated at Our Lady and St Wilfrid, Warwick Bridge at 10 am on Saturday 8th November (and not at St Margaret Mary's). 

The Brampton Consort, led by Simon Mortimer, will sing a medieval polyphonic Mass and the propers will be sung by our Schola. 

A buffet lunch will be on offer, plus an uplifting address and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

News from Carlisle

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.

Weekday Masses in Preston

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!

And so to Autumn...

Autumn brings with it a new academic year, so Masses on Friday evenings at the University resume from week commencing 28th September.

There are changes to the parking arrangements across campus, which you can read about here.

Changes to Staff at St Walburge's mean an increase in the number of Masses there.  

Masses in the north of the Diocese are also handy for the North Lakes, for anyone squeezing in autumnal walks.  Details are here, and note the phone number if you want to check ahead of travel to Workington.

Holidays!

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.  

It might look nice and cool in there- it wasn't!  

Lancaster University Chaplaincy

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?

New Mass schedule at St Walburge's, Preston

With effect from Sunday 7th July there will no longer be a TLM at St Thomas of Canterbury & the English Martyrs, Preston as the church will revert to parish administration.

Sunday Masses at St Walburge's will be at 8.30 am and 10.30 am. There will be no 6.30 pm Mass.

During the week there will be only one daily Mass. Please consult the newsletter during summertime for accurate and up-to-date Mass and service times.
