Yesterday, I went to the Hospital Chapel of St John of Jerusalem, at St John's Wood, for the Society of St Catherine of Sienna's annual Mass, a Pontifical High Mass at the Faldstool in the Old Rite (it was the real Old Rite too); and rather enjoyed it. It was a Votive Mass of St Catherine of Sienna. The Celebrant was Mgr. Malcolm McMahon, the Bishop of Nottingham, Assistant Priest was Mgr Andrew Wadsworth of the Oratory, the Deacon was Dr Laurence Hemming, Subdeacon Fr Timothy Finigan and the first Master of Ceremonies was Dr Alcuin Reid. The choir of the London Oratory school sang beautifully. The Bishop preached on a variety of topics surrounding the life of St Catherine, on witness to the Truth, and it was quite humorous.
Photos of the event can be seen here.
