Sung Latin Requiem Sat 6 September

Our next scheduled Missa Cantata (sung Latin Mass in the older form of the Roman Rite) is on Saturday 6 September at 10.30am. This day is the anniversary of the death of Fr Patrick Bailey, a former Parish Priest of Our Lady of the Rosary, and so, at the suggestion of the MC and Schola, I will celebrate this Mass as a Requiem for Fr Bailey and after Mass, there will be the traditional absolutions at the catafalque.

Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine et lux perpetua luceat ei.

Olympic hopeful from our parish

With Great Britain doing so well in the Olympics, it is good to know that one of our own parishioners may be on the way to gold in four years' time.

On the 2012 features section of the BBC website, you can see Michael Hobson's Diary. A parishioner of Our Lady of the Rosary, Michael is a long distance runner for Bexley Athletics club and hopes to represent Great Britain at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Feast of the Assumption

Friday 15 August is the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady and is a Holyday of Obligation on which we are bound to attend Mass. Masses in the parish will be at 10am, 4.15pm and 8pm. The 8pm Mass will be a sung Latin Mass.
