Masses at Prinknash Abbey
The Benedictine monks of Prinknash Abbey have now published their new schedule of Masses in the Extraordinary Form for 2020. These can be downloaded as a PDF file by clicking the image above.
The Masses are mainly on the first Sunday of the month at 3:00pm, and the third Saturday of the month at 11:00am. There are quite a few exceptions to this, however, so you are advised to check the schedule carefully before travelling!
As well as a few parking spaces next to the Monastery at St Peter's Grange, there is a large public car park near the entrance to the estate. The Monastery cafe/shop, on the way up the hill to the Monastery, has a very good reputation for its coffee and extensive range of food.

Glastonbury Pilgrimage 2019
The annual LMS pilgrimage to Glastonbury took place on Saturday 7th September 2019. The day began with Solemn High Mass in the Shrine Church. Dom Bede Rowe was Celebrant, with Father James Bradley, of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, as Deacon, and Dom Anselm Redman as Subdeacon. Charles Bradshaw acted as MC, and the other servers came from around the Diocese
The Rupert Bevan Singers provided the music, which included Byrd's Mass for Five Voices.
The Mass was a votive Mass for Our Lady's birthday, this being the Saturday nearest to the Feast on the 8th September. In his sermon, Dom Bede pointed out that Our Lady had been venerated in Glastonbury since the earliest days of Christianity, and is still honoured around the world, despite all the opposition and persecution that the faithful have suffered.
Mass was followed by lunch in the parish hall, after which we crossed the road to the ruins of the ancient Abbey to pray the Rosary in the crypt of the Lady Chapel. The day finished with an hour of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and confessions, followed by Benediction.
We would like to thank all those who helped to make this pilgrimage possible, in particular Dom Bede Rowe, the Rector of the Shrine and Celebrant of the High Mass, the other Sacred Ministers, Fathers Bradley and Redman, MC Charles Bradshaw, and the Shrine administrator, Kim Woolmer.

Cancellation
We regret that the previously advertised Missa Cantata, which was due to take place at Our Lady of Lourdes, Weston-Super-Mare, on the Feast of the Assumption, Thursday 15th August, has had to be cancelled.
This is because a funeral will be held in the church on the Friday, with the coffin being received into the church the previous evening.
Father Redman will instead offer a Low Mass for the Feast at 12:00pm on Thursday 15th.
