The Nativity of John the Baptist at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour

Due to the Annual Novena of Novus Ordo Masses leading up to the patronal Feastday of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Wolverhampton that has taken place every year since 2011 and is detailed in the graphic below, and livestreamed on the parish YouTube channel, the normal Friday 1962 Missal Mass will be moved to Saturday morning at 8am, the Solemnity of the Nativity of John the Baptist. Directions to this church are available in the sidebar.

The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 2023

Over on our Facebook Page, we have been praying a novena for the preservation of the TLM in the Archdiocese of Birmingham following confirmed rumours that the Archbishop is collating information about the Masses with a view to obtaining permission for them to continue from Rome, in line with the Rescript published earlier this year. It seems fitting to end this novena by hearing Mass on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, for which there will be four such opportunities in the region.

Corpus Christi and SS Peter and Paul

The usual schedule of Masses at the Birmingham Oratory will be interrupted on two Thursdays in June, firstly on the traditional date of Corpus Christi, this year falling on the 8th June 2023, and then on the Solemnity of SS Peter and Paul on 29th June; on both of these dates, High Mass will be celebrated at 7.30pm instead of the usual 5.45pm Low Mass. Details of the music for these Masses and the other Sunday High Masses in June are available in the graphic below:
