The Traditional Latin Mass was offered this weekend at St Mary’s College, Oscott, a seminary in the Archdiocese of Birmingham that trains priests for dioceses across England and Wales. The celebrant was Fr Guy Nichols, priest of the Birmingham Oratory and the Founder and Director of the John Henry Newman Institute of Liturgical Music.
The Mass formed part of the “We Believe Festival”, a celebration of the Catholic faith in its many expressions, intended to bring the Church together in an authentic way. The event featured reconciliation services, a Mass of thanksgiving for the 175th anniversary of the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales, jubilee celebrations, as well as talks and exhibitions from Catholic organisations across the UK.
