A big 'thank you' to Fr Allen, who was a a delightful chaplain. Below he is celebrating Mass at the LMS' portable altar, because the chapel was in use by the resident friars (this being a Sunday).

Bishop Eleganti in New Brighton: photos

IMG_1940

On Sunday Bishop Eleganti continued his tour, organised by the Latin Mass Society, going to SS Peter & Paul and St Philomena in New Brighton, the first church to be taken on by the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. It is a splendid, spacious church, and really well suited to the ceremonies -- and, I should add, to photography!

We would like to thank the many Institute clergy who helped at this Mass, not only those based in New Brighton but their confreres in Preston, and the Sister Adorers who came from Preston to sing for the Mass. The parishioners put on an enormous lunch for all comers after Mass.
