Liturgy and Music List April-June 2018

Alleluia!

In accordance with Divine Worship: The Missal, we put the Alleluia aside on Septuagesima Sunday, so we rejoice to have it back this Easter.

Choral services resume on Saturday 28 April at the 5.00pm Mass at Holy Rood, and this term’s music list will be published in due course. Happily, this year, Ascension Day is restored to Thursday in England and Wales, which becomes again a midweek Holyday of obligation. The regular Thursday DW Mass will be offered solemnly that day.

In the immediate post-Easter period, there is no 5.00pm Mass on Saturday 7 April, and no Mass on the Thursday either side thereof. Normal services resume on Saturday 14 April at 5.00pm at Holy Rood. Other Saturday-for-Sunday Masses are available in the parish and elsewhere in the city centre, details of which may be easily found online.

Please keep in your prayers Revv Michael Ward, Jonathan Creer, and Thomas Mason, preparing for ordination to the sacred priesthood (God willing) at the end of June. Look out for details of First Masses in due course.

Music and Liturgy January-March 2018

Evensong and Benediction, Wednesday 22 November

Music and Liturgy, Michaelmas 2017

Mass of Our Lady of Walsingham

Masses of Feasts…

There will be no Divine Worship Masses at Holy Rood on Saturdays 2 and 9 September. The next sung Mass is Saturday 16 September, as usual at 5.00pm – this will be a Mass of the Holy Cross, because Holy Rood’s Feast of Title is the preceding Thursday.

The week after, Saturday 23 September, is the eve of our Patronal in the Ordinariate, the feast of Our Lady of Walsingham. The Newman Consort returns early from vacation to sing for this celebration, for which all are welcome to join us: 5.00pm at Holy Rood, Abingdon Road, Oxford.

Watch out for our forthcoming termly music list, and for details of other liturgical, musical, and pastoral events.
