The celebrant was Fr Lawrence Lew; you can read his sermon here.
A hundred people attended Mass and 75 came on the procession.
One of the distinctive things about the Dominican Rite is that they anticipate the Offertory: at odd moments the sacred ministers are preparing the chalice and so on.
Mass was accompanied by seventeen singers singing the chant and polyphony, thanks to the Schola Abelis of Oxford and the Southwell Consort based in London.
This year the procession went to the site of the martyrdom of Blessed George Napier in 1610 -- Oxford is blessed by two sites of martyrdom, both marked with plaques, and we alternate between them.

The procession was an impressive sight going through the shoppers with the LMS banner and the processional statue of Our Lady of Walsingham.
A big 'thank you' to all who came along; please mark 18th October in your diaries for next year!
