Especially in this year when England will celebrate the Beatification of John Henry Cardinal Newman, who brought the Oratory to England, surely the place to be for Wednesday 26 May just has to be the Oratory – or rather one of the Oratories.
I don’t offhand know the details for the celebrations at the Birmingham and Oxford Oratories : but the London Oratory is celebrating in style, and I strongly suggest that anyone who can possibly get there should make the trip.
TODAY ~ Tuesday 25 May
17:30 Solemn First Vespers followed by Triduo Devotions to S. Philip
TOMORROW ~ Wednesday 26 May ~ S. Philip Neri
18:30 Solemn Pontifical Mass (OF, Latin)
(at which Archbishop Vincent Nichols will both celebrate and preach, and at which the organ will be reinforced by an orchestra, and every circumstance of liturgical excess will - if I know anything - be indulged in !)
Other Masses at 07:00, 08:00 (EF), 10:00, and 12:30
