7pm - Candelit Procession and Sung Mass.

Warrington

FSSP Shrine Church of St. Mary, Buttermarket Street, Warrington, WA1 2NS.

12 Noon - Candlemas Blessing and Procession followed by Holy Mass.

Those attending St. Mary's are asked to take candles that they wish to have blessed and place them in front of the Martyrs' Chapel. These candles will be blessed at 12 noon, followed by a procession within the church and then Holy Mass.

The FSSP Newsletter recalls: As we process with palms on Palm Sunday as witnesses to Martyrdom (and Christ's Passion), so it is fitting at the end of the Christmas season to process with lights as witnesses to Christ's Nativity, Who is the Light of the World. Lighted candles are held during the Procession and at the Gospel and from the Sanctus to the priests' Communion.

We thank all of these good priests for making these Traditional Latin Masses available for the Feast of Candlemas. Readers in the region are strongly encouraged to attend wherever possible.
