Mass at the Little Sisters of the Poor, Newcastle

Tonight there will be a Missa Cantata in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite at the chapel of the Little Sisters of the Poor, Westmorland Road, Newcastle at 7pm. This is in response to a request from a group of residents in the home. It has taken two and a half years of negotiation to bring this about so we hope all goes well. Thanks to David O`Neill for working to bring this about.

I very funny comment left on Fr. Z's blog from one "Chironymo", who has a blog, here: http://www.authenticupdate.blogspot.com/

"I have this image of a group of nuns in full habits on one side of a table with their lawyers, and on the other side, a group of nuns in jeans and Birkenstocks with their lawyers…

“Alright, we’ll allow the Te Christe rex supplices Kyrie, and the readings can be in Latin, but must be read by female laity in vestments…”

“No can do…readings have to be done by the Deacon…”

“Then you’ll have to use the Lord Have Mercy from Mass of Creation…”

“Now Sister…you know we can’t do that…it has to be in Latin. We’ll use the shorter Lux et origo Kyrie if you’ll allow the Deacon to proclaim the readings in English…”

And so it went for 2 1/2 years…."
