The Immaculate Conception and Advent Rorate Masses

High Mass will be celebrated on Friday 8th December at 7.30pm for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception at the Oratory dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, a patronal Feast they share with the Archdiocese of Birmingham. This replaces the usual 5.45pm Low Mass. The music for this Mass, as well as the Masses on the Sundays of Advent and Christmas, is included in the December Music List below.

As usual on the Saturdays in Advent (this year falling on the 9th, 16 and 23rd), Rorate Masses will be offered at 7.30am at the Birmingham Oratory. Our Lady of Perpetual Succour will also be celebrating these Masses at 7am on Saturdays, and I strongly encourage you to get up early and attend these Masses which are spiritually uplifting in the dark winter months.
