Please continue to pray for Neil Taylor as he prepares to be ordained deacon on Saturday at Warwick Street.

Mass on Corpus Christi included the Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity. “...So help me God, and God’s Holy Gospels on which I place my hand.”

Our seminarian Neil Taylor made his formal Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity at Mass on Sunday, as Bishop David had given permission for this to happen at Christ the King Church. This is a necessary step prescribed by the Church for all who are called to any office in the Church. Neil is due

Tomorrow is the feast of Corpus Christi, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 11:30am at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below. This Mass will also include Neil Taylor’s Oath of Fidelity and Profession of Faith ahead of his ordination next weekend: please support him with your prayers.

“Do not forget the Lᴏʀᴅ your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock, who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know.”

(Unfortunately we’ve had to cancel this afternoon’s planned procession. But there will still be a mini-procession at Mass tomorrow.)

“When the day of Pentecost arrived, the Apostles were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
