Re: Triduum Planning

We tend to keep things much the same from year to year as much of the sung stuff is specific to those liturgies. Our PP has been seriously ill and may not be back for HW, so that adds an extra level of possible hiccups "on the night" with visiting priests. We have 4 OT readings. Luckily we...

Re: Olives or Palms?

Years ago we went to Palm Sunday Mass in Dubrovnik when it was still part of Yugoslavia. People took foliage from their own gardens to Mass for the procession ..... which I guess is what happened on that first Palm Sunday. There was a great variety of plants on show. It was quite something to see se...

Re: Archbishop Roche and other new Cardinals

And in the C19th - according to the Wikipedia list of English Cardinals Manning, Howard and Newman 1879-1890. For a country with a small Catholic population we do seem to have more than our fair share of cardinals. NB, I do like it that the parish newsletter of St Vincent de Paul Liverpool refers to...

Re: The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

St Elizabeth in Latin is Santa Elisabetha (notice the 's' instead of the 'z'), which declines as usual. Alternative forms of the name such as Isabella (= Isabelle) can also be used. But there is no real Latin equivalent of Elizabeth when used as a Christian name , so it should remain undeclined. Wh...
