Portsmouth Festival
On Saturday
7th. February a packed
church congregation assisted at the Festival
celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at Saint
Agatha’s, Portsmouth: Ordinariatel Rite.
The Ordinary of the Mass, with choir and orchestra,
was to Haydn’s Sancti Nicolai Messe 6 setting and the
Propers, with choir and organ - Anglican chant.
Through the swirling clouds of incense we witnessed
exactingly choreographed ceremonial and heard the
word perfect, Ordinariate Liturgy ... at the elevation
of the Host, we were left in no doubt.
After the Last Gospel everyone joined in singing
lustily, The Angelus. It was a most reverent, gratifying
and uplifting celebration.
We went on our way, after a splendid buffet, with the
bells of St Agatha’s ringing in our ears and pealing over
the seaport city.

Fr Simon Ellis, the Group Pastor

running the London Marathon for
Jesuit Missions on 26 April 2015.

Your donation will help the Jesuits’
work in Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Their College is linked with Cansius
Secondary, a Jesuit School in Zambia,
so the projects they are engaged with
make a huge difference. Two years ago
they built a new library for the school.
The Jesuits have maintained a
presence for centuries throughout
the world working with local
communities to bring justice, peace
and a new life for so many people.
Their relationship with Zambia is
one of partnership, particularly in the
realm of education and health care.
A particular focus will be on
reducing the effects of smoke
inhalation by introducing new
technologies for cooking. Often
people focus on malaria and AIDS,
but persistent smoke inhalation
causes nearly two million deaths in
Africa every year.
Support from Ordinariate members
to Fr Simon in this work will be hugely
appreciated. If you are a UK tax payer,
please Gift Aid your donation!
