Rorate Masses of Novena of the Immaculate Conception

Rorate Mass, Novena of the Immaculate Conception 2013 (Birmingham Oratory Gallery)

As part of the Novena for the Immaculate Conception, there will be a 6pm Rorate Mass at the Birmingham Oratory this week from Monday to Thursday. The usual Friday Mass will not take place because Br Francis is being ordained to the priesthood by fellow Oratorian Bp Robert Byrne. You would be very welcome to attend the Ordination Mass. Please keep Br Francis in your prayers.

Also, the 6.30pm First Monday Mass at Redditch returns tomorrow after a break for a couple of months.

November Monday Evening Requiem Masses at the Birmingham Oratory

Just like last year, a Requiem Mass will be held at 6pm on Monday evenings at the Birmingham Oratory followed by Sung Vespers for the Dead: the picture on the left is one of these Masses celebrated last year.

You may also be interested in attending the ordination of Br Francis of the Oratory by former Birmingham Oratorian Bishop Robert Byrne, which will take place on Friday 5th December 2014, probably in the evening with first Masses on Saturday and Sunday. I will update this post when I have further information.
