In the extended ‘country’ region of the diocese our regular Traditional Masses continue in Chelmsford, Kelvedon and Leigh; we are so lucky in our priests who give us these Masses in addition to their normal busy parish duties. Mea culpa, the deadline was missed for the previous issue of MoA, when it would have been possible to wax lyrical about additional Masses at Chelmsford on Ash Wednesday, and an uplifting Missa Cantata on Easter Sunday in a Chapel that was even more overcrowded than usual; together with (as might be expected!) the normal ‘stonking’ sermons from Fr Stephen Morrison. It was good also to celebrate Ascension Thursday there in traditional style. We mentioned previously a joyful new addition, and subsequently Quinn Joseph Nickson was baptised at St Thomas of Canterbury in Woodford Green. Fr Stephen officiated at the ceremony on Saturday, 9 March with Godparents Kyle Owen and Emily Panayitou in attendance, along with two proud elder brothers, parents, family and friends. It has been a delight to see Masses celebrated with increasing regularity at Old Hall Green (thank you, Fr Crean!), at Saffron Walden, and at Epping (please note this last is on the fourth Sunday of each month). If we are in those areas, we should of course endeavour to give these our support; if you aren’t being kept ‘in the loop’ about them, do please make contact. As always, if we can add our mite as servers or singers, experienced or learning, we must step forward; again, please get in touch.
