Regular first Friday Low Masses have continued at the Bournemouth Oratory and there were additional Low Masses on 4 May (English and Welsh Martyrs) and on 29 May (Vigil of the Ascension). On Saturday, 22 June two parishioners, Stephanie Hogan and Andrew McDowell were married at a Nuptial High Mass by Fr Stephen Brown. Fr Dominic Jacob was Deacon and Fr Michael Brown was Sub-Deacon. The Marian Friars of Gosport sang beautifully at the first High Mass in the Bournemouth area since the liturgical changes, to the best of my knowledge. The next High Mass took place a week later on 29 June, the feast of SS Peter and Paul. After being ordained priest as recently as 8 June by Bishop Robert Byrne of Hexham and Newcastle diocese, Fr Andrew Wagstaff of the Bournemouth Oratory was celebrant, assisted by Fr Tim Finigan as Deacon and Brother Francisco Hintikka as Sub-Deacon. Again, a wonderful occasion for those present and surely a reason to give thanks in that a new priest is keen to offer the Traditional Latin Mass.
