One of the highlights of 2009 was the LMS training conference at Ushaw. I`m delighted to hear that it is happening again in 2010 and will be the LMS`s main training conference of the year. What made it special on a personal level was having spent five years there as a seminarian and never thinking to ever see let alone celebrate Solemn High Mass in St Cuthbert`s chapel. The LMS have sent the following information about next year`s conference. As well as gaining or refreshing knowledge about celebrating the Extraordinary Form it will be a good week in the company of like-minded priests. I was particularly glad to catch up with some people I`d not seen in twenty years.
Here`s the press release:

I'll maybe see you then, Father, when I look forward to making your acquaintance. God bless!
I hear that the conference is only allowed to go ahead because all the current seminarians will be away on Easter Vacation.
I`ve not heard that Anonymous. I remember when we discussed the timing for next year`s conference at the end of this year`s, while it was suggested that we might like to have it in February, the participants were in favour of Low Week again as a good time. The weather was so perfect this year that that helped swing it I imagine, whereas the thought of Ushaw in February was not as appealing.
I was meaning that from the seminary point of view, they didn't want the students around to be involved in anyway with the
Well you may be right Anonymous but all I can say is that Ushaw couldn`t have been more helpful last year. Eventually the EF will have to become part of the seminary programme. Maybe the Ad Limina in January will speed that process up.
But it being in Low Week, and our being on a semester system (February break), means my campaign to have a couple of priest-lecturers I know go on the conference is frustrated!
An advantage of having the Conference when the seminarians are away is that more chapels will be available to 'us'.
On the other hand, don't the bishops have their own conference in Low Week? If so, there's little chance of any of them visiting the LMS conference.
to Fr Michael Brown:
indeed an optomistic view, but i can's see +Pat Kelly or any of the other northern Bishops agreeing to their student learning the EF as part of future formation... Ad Limina in January or not.
to FrankE:
So what your saying is that you don't think that the priests of the future should be involved because "you" want more chapels. How selfish...
