Dear British faithful, 

 

Fr. Damien Dutertre of the Roman Catholic Institute will visit the United Kingdom to say Mass on Sunday the 24th of December (Christmas Eve), as well as on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. 

 

We can confirm that the venue for Masses on all days will be Swinford Village Hall, Chapel St, Swinford, LE17 6AZ. 

 

Please see below our schedule for Christmas Masses: 

 

Sunday the 24th December, Christmas Eve: Mass at 11am, confessions from 9am. 

 

Midnight Mass (Starting at 12am on the night of the 24th-25th): Mass at midnight, preceded by a vigil to include the rosary and hopefully some light carols (which are TBD). 

 

Monday the 25th of December, Christmas morning: Masses at 8:30am* and 11am, with confession preceding both Masses. 

 

Tuesday the 26th of December, Boxing Day: Mass at 7am. 

 

*We are still looking for a server for the 8:30am Mass. Please e-mail me at frankielogue@hotmail.co.uk if you are willing to serve, or if you have any questions. 

 

We are also hoping to include carols during our 11am Christmas morning Mass. I will update you with the choice of carols when we have them. 

 

I wish all a very merry Christmas. 

 

God bless you! 

Dear British faithful, 

 

Fr. Damien Dutertre of the Roman Catholic Institute will visit the United Kingdom to say Mass on Sunday the 24th of December (Christmas Eve), as well as on Christmas Day. 

 

We can confirm that the venue for Masses on both days will be Swinford Village Hall, Chapel St, Swinford, LE17 6AZ. Mass on Sunday the 24th of December will be, as usual, at 11am, with confessions from 9am. 

 

But we need your input regarding Mass times. Let me explain. 

 

Fr. Dutertre has generously offered us the possibility of a Midnight Mass, preceded by a vigil of carols and the recitation of the Holy Rosary. But in order to plan for such a Mass, we need to know whether or not enough people would attend. 

 

Priests are able to offer three Masses on Christmas Day. If there is not a Midnight Mass, then, we need to know if people would like a second public Mass in addition to the usual Mass time, which would be 11am. Otherwise, Father will say his other two Masses privately (with a server). 

 

If you are planning on attending any Mass over Christmas with the Mission, it is IMPERATIVE that you share your thoughts with us. We cannot plan the most convenient time for people if we do not know it. 

 

I therefore ask that you please either e-mail me at frankielogue@hotmail.co.uk, or send me a text message, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Signal message at +44 7813 003304. 

 

We are very blessed this year to have progressed to two Masses per month and an episcopal visit this year. Let us also work to make sure that Christmas is a rousing success for the Mission, and that we welcome the Christ-Child into these isles with open arms. 

 

God bless you! 

Mass will take place on the 10th of December at The Reading Room, Berkeley St, Sibbertoft, Market Harborough LE16 9UF 

 

Mass will begin at 11am, with confessions from 9am. 

 

Please do come along, for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls.
