Attendance at Sunday Masses continues consistently high. On feast days the size of congregation is inevitably less due, to some extent, to competing Masses elsewhere. Fr Michael Cullinan continues to provide us with devoutly celebrated Masses and clear and instructive homilies. He was also very helpful with the ceremonies of Holy Week at Moorfields. On occasions when Fr Michael’s duties at Maryvale prevent him, we have had Masses offered by Fr Mark Elliott Smith, now resident in the Rectory at Spanish Place. Fr Joe Hamilton from Oxford has also been a welcome visitor. On Sunday, 7 July we had the great joy of Fr Rosario Joseph Mary offering one of his first London Masses and give First Blessings. He was ordained priest in the Traditional Rite at Portsmouth Cathedral on Friday 5 July. He is the second son of Mary Ebank a regular member of our congregation. A recent servers’ training day was very well attended - we shall soon benefit from having some new recruits. The next training day will be in September.
