Heralds of the Gospel in England and Wales: Pontifical High Mass at Downside

Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

Pontifical High Mass at Downside - Part 1

On Thursday 12 August Bishop Athanasius Schneider ORC Auxiliary Bishop of Karaganga, Kazakhstan, celebrated a Pontifical High Mass at Downside Abbey, one of England’s most prestigious monasteries.

The Mass took place during a residential training week, organised by the Latin Mass Society, for priests wishing to learn the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. There were Traditional liturgies in Downside’s beautiful chapel together with a Gregorian Chant schola and polyphonic choir.

Expert tuition in the celebration of Mass in the Usus Antiquior was provided, along with tuition in Low Mass, Missa Cantata and Missa Solemnis. There were opening and closing High Masses, daily Mass, Offices and Rosary. The public were able to attend Mass in the Abbey Church each day.

Pilgrim Statue of The Immaculate Heart of Mary visits homes.

The Heralds of the Gospel take the pilgrim Statue of The Immaculate Heart of Mary as she appeared in Fatima, to peoples homes, as a way of bringing a blessing to the family. The visit normally takes place in the evenings and need not take more than two hours.The Heralds of the Gospel bring the statue to the house and give a short talk about the reason for the visit and the importance of prayer. Five decades of the Rosary are then said, for the intentions of all those present. Tea and coffee may be served at the end. After the visit, the Statue continues on its journey to other homes. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite family and friends to share in Our Lady's visit to your home. The only thing you need to provide is a little table with a table cloth, and some flowers or a candle. There is no charge. Children are welcome to be present. Indeed, it is it is encouraged. The visits must be booked in advance. Call Br Arthur on 02089434159 or 07899034249.
