To date we have only managed to arrange two Masses at Sizergh Castle this summer as it hasn't been possible to tie in the availability of both priests and the Strickland family, but it is hoped that we may be able to have one in the autumn: please keep an eye on the website for further news. The other news is that September will possibly see the last EF Mass in the Lancaster area until next May as Canon Ruscillo will be taking a Sabbatical in Jerusalem from October to April inclusive. However, we are living in hope that something else may be arranged; please say a prayer that this will be possible. On 20 July the Institute of Christ the King hosted, at the request of the LMS, a training day for those who wished to learn or improve the serving of the EF Mass, which we hope will have been of great benefit to those who are not able to get to the days further south. By the time this goes to print we will have been present at the First Mass & First Blessings of Canon Ryan Post from the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, who will have been ordained on 4 July. We will also have been to the ordination of Fr Stephen Talbutt from this Diocese on 6 July; before he went to seminary Stephen was quite a regular server at the EF Masses at Lancaster Cathedral. Please keep both these new priests in your prayers.
