Father Birch Processional Cross

This Sunday, the First Sunday of Advent, a processional crucifix purchased to honour the memory of Father Michael Birch will be blessed.

On Friday 26 November we mark the fifth anniversary of the death of our beloved Fr Michael Birch. In honour of his long years of service and ministry, both Anglican and Catholic, we have purchased a beautiful English brass and enamel processional cross in his memory. The cross will be blessed and put to use on Advent Sunday, 28 November, leading the way as The Great Litany is chanted in procession. Please pray for Fr Michael's soul, and for his wife, Noella, who remains a much-loved part of our parish family.

If you wish to make a donation towards the cost of this cross, please contact Fr Kenyon:

David, a member of the Latin Mass community, is installing a protective wooden frame to support the proper storage of the crucifix and two processional torches.

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 3:1-3

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
