Bishop Schneider in England: Ramsgate

On Friday 13th June, Bishop Schneider celebrated Pontifical High Mass in the Shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate. As with the Mass in Northampton, people came from far and wide to assist at the liturgy: as members of sanctuary team, or to fill the church.

Bishop Schneider was assisted by Fr Jonathan Routh (the Shrine Rector, as Assistant Priest), Fr Stephen Morrison OPraem (deacon) and Fr Francis Lynch (subdeacon). Mass was accompanied by a small professional group directed by Matthew Schellhorn.

The Shrine of St Augustine's is a remarkable Pugin church, where the great architect is buried. It is now used only for the celebration of the Traditional Mass.

We again used a set of vestments only recently purchased and restored.
