LMS Training Conference...

Fr John Boyle over at Caritas in Veritate (a most prudent name for a Catholic blog in the post-Modern world) has put up a reminder to lay folk that The Latin Mass Society is holding their annual training conference for Priests wishing to learn the ''Extraordinary Form'' of the Roman Rite, and that the liturgical celebrations held there are open to the public. The Conference is this year sadly not at Merton College (would that it were! I'd love another excuse to go there - it was, afterall, the home of J.R.R Tolkien from 1945-1959) but is being held closer to home, at All Saints Pastoral Centre, London Colney, Hertfordshire AL2 1AF. I think I shall attend the High Mass for the Feast of St Augustine of Hippo on Friday 28th August at 11:00am, as I have a particular devotion to St Augustine (I am also trying my hardest to memorise the complex rubrics of High Mass, and to experience High Mass - which is quite rare, even in the post-Summorum Pontificum days - is naturally better than memorising Fortescue and O'Connell by rote!). He is also a Doctor of the Church, and as such his Mass enjoys special privileges...
