Monsignor Carl Reid: (after) Last Mass at Our Lady Help of Christians Chapel

The Ordinariate community of Blessed John Henry Newman has a lovely little Chapel in Sidney, BC. A family has kindly set aside a vacant room in their home for the exclusive purpose of celebrating Mass. There is no tabernacle.

A daily Said Mass is held for Saanich Peninsula residents on Fridays at 9:30am. Mattins precedes at 8:45am.

The Chapel is well appointed: a simple but stately ad orientem altar with handsome brass candlesticks from the Blessed John Henry Newman Chapel at a former host parish; a sturdy brass lectern and floor candlesticks; credence table; Stations of the Cross. There is plenty of room for visitors.

Word has it that Msgr. Carl and Barb landed safely in Australia and are getting settled in.

TRUE PARTICIPATION IN THE MASS

"I was gathered into the offering of the Son to the Father. I participated in the self-offering of God today."

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | 1 John 2:15-17

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever.
