Maundy Thursday with the FSSP in Reading

I have now processed my photographs from the Easter Triduum in Reading - and the splendid Solemn Mass which took place this morning in Dorchester. But first things first: here are photographs of the Maundy Thursday Mass in Reading.

Fr de Malleray was the celebrant, and Fr Leworthy deacon; they were joined by a Polish FSSP seminarian, the Rev Mr Marek Grabowski, from Wigratzbad, who was subdacon. (He really is a sub-deacon: he will be ordained deacon this year. He also taught at the St Catherine's Trust Summer School in 2007.) Also present was another FSSP seminarian, Ian Verrier, and Englishman, from Denton, who is an excellent organist. Last year he was with us in lay clothes; he has now received the cassock.



The Blessed Sacrament is taken to the Altar of Repose.
