It is so good to see the EF Mass progressing so well in Ireland.
I have added you to my bloglist.
Richard,
You don't have a bloglist but we do... and you're in it.
"It would be easier to conjure up the devil than to get a Latin Mass in this Diocese...!"
God bless you!
Why is the altar in a corner of the sanctuary? It seems like a very odd placing.
Oddity is not to be found in the placing of the altar. If you sit comfortably, shut your eyes tight and try to imagine a cruciform church with a apse at the 'eastern' end and then you try to imagine someone with a camera sitting in the Gospel-side or 'northern' side of the church, taking photographs of the apse or 'eastern' end. The photos look 'off-centre' because the line of vision is at an angle but the altar is not, in fact, 'off-centre'. Clearer now?
You may be interested to know that Blessed Sacrament Cathedral, Christchurch, New Zealand, badly damaged in the earthquake last Tuesday, has an EF Mass every day: http://www.chch.catholic.org.nz/?sid=8&do=detail&type=parish&id=780
I think the church looks fantastic. You're very lucky to have the Institute there.
I love the traditional mass with Gregorian Chant. Here in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, we have one church that offers it. My family travels the hour and a half about once a month to attend. Beautiful!
Thank you Father for reminding us about this. I have been praying for the Catholics and for all people who have been caught in the natural disasters in New Zealand and Japan.
I agree that the pictures are very confusing. I've heard of red brick universities but never red brick churches. Now I see why.
