On the feast of the Presentation of the Lord there is an ancient tradition of blessing of candles that will be used during liturgies during the year.

On the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, Sunday 2nd of February 2025, there will be the traditional blessing of candles at all Masses. People are welcome to bring their own candles that they use at their home altars to be included in the blessing.

Blessing of Throats

On Monday 3rd of February 2025, Feast of Saint Blaise, the traditional blessing of throats against sickness, will happen during the 11 am Mass. The blessing uses two candles that were blessed on the Feast of the Presentation.

From 16 Dec to 24 Dec the Pauline Fathers offer a Novena to the Infant Jesus remembering the requested intentions in their prayers.

If you would like your intentions included, please see our Christmas Novena page.

Next Fatima Day is Saturday 13th of April, and we will be welcoming Fr Jacek Cichy as our main celebrant.

Yesterday we shared some photos from the Vigil. Today, we have some photos to share from the Funeral of Fr Gabriel Taylor, which was on the 20th of June.

O Lord, God of mercy, we pray that you may welcome your deceased Servant and our Brother Gabriel Taylor, that he may share in the glory of Your Resurrection with you and your Saints, Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Here are a few Photos from the Vigil that was held the night before the Funeral of Fr. Gabriel Taylor in the Old Monastery at the Shrine.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
