Mass of Thanksgiving for the Beatification

On Sunday, 12th July, we celebrated a Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving for the beatification of our Cardinal, John Henry Newman. Fr Paul Chavasse, Provost of the Birmingham Oratory was the preacher, and our own Provost, Fr Robert Byrne was the celebrant. Fr Ignatius Harrison, Provost of the London Oratory was robed and in the sanctuary. It was truly the thanksgiving Mass of the English Oratories for the beatification of their founder and father.

Reports and photographs of the Mass are available on our own website or here at the New Liturgical Movement blog.
