Traditional Latin Mass Pilgrimage to Strokestown

A warm welcome awaited us today in Strokestown, Co. Roscommon, the home place of the late Fr. Flanagan, our first Chaplain, today for a Traditional Latin Mass for the repose of his soul in the Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception, a towering beacon in stone standing guard over the town, on the feast of St. Lawrence of Brindisi.  Our grateful thanks to the Priests and People of Strokestown for their many kindnesses.

Latin Mass in Duiske Abbey & Scapulars of Saint Joseph

On 31st March, 2012, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered in the Gregorian Rite using the 1962 Missal in Duiske Abbey, Graignamanagh, Co. Kilkenny. It was a Requiem Mass for our deceased Chaplain, Fr. Desmond Flanagan, O.Carm. The Mass was celebrated by a Capuchin Priest. The Scapular of Saint Joseph (previously featured on this blog) was originally particular to the Capuchin Franciscan Order. After Mass, Scapulars of Saint Joseph were blessed and imposed upon those present. An account of the Mass organised by St. Conleth's Catholic Heritage Association in 2011 can be found here. Some background to the Abbey can be found here.
