He is a secondary patron of the Arundel and Brighton diocese, and in my church in Steyning we have a really very good wooden relief of him.<br />He is also a patron of the English Oratory-Fr Faber took the name Wilfrid in his honour—and he is the patron of the London Oratory novitiate.Pastor in Montehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949810648656544072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-40866940410863140392009-12-23T22:02:43.595+00:002009-12-23T22:02:43.595+00:00Father,

My 1951 and 1960 Missals give conflicting information, and familial peace and harmony depends on the answer.1569 Risingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-51953262539903391652009-12-22T16:38:28.141+00:002009-12-22T16:38:28.141+00:00The interview with the new bishop gives a lot of h...The interview with the new bishop gives a lot of hope.

He has always struck me as a very sound and capable <br />priest in the times I`ve met him. I can`t say anything about specifics such as vocations and the EF but I can`t see him been less than keen on vocations and I can`t imagine he would have any problem with putting the Motu Proprio into effect.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-36465846970641291862009-12-22T16:17:00.982+00:002009-12-22T16:17:00.982+00:00What qualities in Mgr Davies give you reason to b...What qualities in Mgr Davies give you reason to be grateful? Is he strong on vocations? Sympathetic to the EF? I have just been discussing with my sister her desire to attend an EF in the Wilmslow area - it would be nice to think that more, and more frequent EFs would follow. And with the Oblates leaving Rock Ferry after 150 years, the pressing need for vocations is becoming more and more of an issue.Dillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01205740584849200357noreply@blogger.com
