Mass For The Feast Of St. Agatha...

Fr. Tim gave an excellent sermon at this month's Saturday Missa Cantata - which just happened to be the feast of St. Agatha. I was in the mood for a photo or two, and I don't often get the chance to snap the red vestments...


Maybe His Hermeneuticalness was reflecting on St. Agatha's role as patron of bellringers, but he swung the thurible rather enthusiastically during the Offertory, and the MC apparently failed to move the altar out of the way (it being a time-honoured tradition that all errors are the fault of the MC) so the bottom of the thurible came off with an appropriately ringing clang!

I managed to persuade the schola to pose for a photograph afterwards, along with our Organist Emeritus...

    Most interesting Post, Mac. Welcome back to Blogland. Good pics (as always) and I thought the Schola pic (with Organist Emeritus) very good. What a blessing to have such an excellent Schola to visit on a monthly basis.

    Will the PP now issue a suitable Penance to the MC for his failure to move the Altar in time ?
