    Dear Joseph,
    The other weekend when we were chatting at St. William of York, I asked you about resources for petitioning the authorities for a Ecclesia Dei provision of the Tridentine Mass. You told me to come to your blog where I would find your email. Unfortunatly I have not found it (selective blindness?), so I have resorted to this means. My email is georgemarysteven at gmail dot com. The Sacred-starved people of Bournemouth would be eternally grateful for any assistance. I shall look forwards to seeing you this weekend, God permitting. You were missed last weekend. Until then, wishing you every blessing, I remain,
    Yours Faithfully in Christ,
    George.

    P.s. These resources; petitions, guidelines ect. really should be available to download from the LMS website. If ever you need to employ a web developer and content manager, let me know!
