St Anne's at Last!

Wonderful news from Fr Rowe, my previous parish priest in Perth, Western Australia – the Latin Mass community is at last about to move into its new home, St Anne's Church in Belmont, on St Patrick's Day, next Wednesday.

At 5 pm, there will be a Holy Hour and Blessing of the church, with prayers for the future, followed by Solemn Benediction at 6.10 pm, then Solemn High Mass at 6.30 pm, with supper in the church hall afterwards.  It promises to be a grand occasion...

Having years back promised Father that I would come to the opening, I find that work and late notice of the event mean I cannot attend in person, but will hope to be there in spirit: I will hear Mass on St Patrick's Day, and know that, though at a different altar, we are all at the One heavenly Altar, where the Lamb once slain now lives for ever, surrounded and worshipped by St Patrick and all the heavenly host.

I attach the latest extraordinary bulletin from the W.A. Latin Mass Apostolate:
