The Trustees of the Schellhorn Trust are pleased to announce the 2020 Schellhorn Prize for Sacred Music Composition competition.

Classical pianist Matthew Schellhorn founded the prize in 2014 in memory of his parents to foster artistic endeavour and encourage excellence in the Sacred Liturgy. The inaugural Prize was awarded in 2015 and was won by Marco Galvani. His composition was premiered during the Sacred Triduum organised by the LMS.

At the invitation of Bishop Alan Hopes, Fr Henry Whisenant, a young diocesan priest of the Diocese of East Anglia, is about to take up the role of Chaplain for the Extraordinary Form based in a house with a privately-owned chapel in the south east corner of the diocese, south of Ipswich: Our Lady Immaculate and St Edmund’s, Withermarsh Green. This is the first time a diocesan priest has been given such a role and is an exciting development.

The summer 2020 edition of Mass of Ages will be delivered to members this week. As churches are currently closed, we are not able to make the magazine available from the many cathedrals and churches around the country as we would normally do. However, if you would like a hard copy, we are still able to post it to you. See here to order.

Of your charity pray for the repose of the soul of Mgr Antony Conlon who departed this life yesterday evening (19th April).

Mgr Conlon, Parish Priest of Our Lady & St John's, Goring-on-Thames, served, among other places, at St Joseph’s, Bunhill Row and The Oratory School in Reading. He was a great supporter of the Traditional Mass and regularly celebrated it at LMS events, including our annual visit to St Augustine’s in Snave in 2017, where this photograph was taken (© Clare Bowskill).
