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 4:1-3

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming; and now it is already in the world.

THE GOLDEN ARROW

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
