St Philip Neri and the Ascension
I did not get a chance to advertise it in time but the Spring Bank Holiday this year fell on the Birmingham Oratory Patronal Feast of St Philip Neri where High Mass was celebrated at 11am on 26th May. Thursday saw High Mass celebrated for the Solemnity of the Ascension, marking 40 days since the resurrection and the beginning of the Pentecost Novena.
Below is a record of the music list used in these Masses and the Masses during May.
