As we all now know the Year for the Priesthood starts this Friday, the Feast of the Sacred Heart. This weekend our bishop has sent a pastoral letter to alert the diocese to this special year and there will be a Mass at the cathedral on July 7th at 7pm to mark its opening. Unfortunately I can`t make that Mass as I have a prior commitment.
That day, at 12.05pm, also sees the bishop at my old parish of St Joseph`s Gateshead to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the church. I`m glad to say I will be able to make it on that occasion.

I want to write a wee card to the priests of my parish for the beginning of the year, but I am worried about sounding Morbidly Pious or like a stalker ...

I wonder if there might be an EF Mass celebrated by the Bishop.

Don't be silly, Frank. No chance. It is quite clear that those who hanker after the traditional Mass in this diocese are very much second class citizens, and have been for years - no matter what our Holy Father says in Rome.
Well if the bishop wants everyone to move out of their comfort zones......
