When we were in St. Paul's coffe and cakes were actually served in the sacristy after Mass. I think this gave a much better sense of communal cohesion.

I'm surprised there are not suitable toilets. Many parishes have this basic facilities though some may have them locked during the day for a variety of reasons.
It is a pity that people cannot gather afterwards for a cup of coffee some cake and a chat.

Well, you see this is the down side to the Dublin chaplaincy. There is a facility in St Kevin's for tea and cakes, but the chaplaincy are not in favour of the idea. There was a precedent of controversy in regard to the same in St Audoen's, and the then Rector of the Church, Fr Martin Tierney, withdrew the facility. But I don't think the chaplaincy have this in mind...

Summorum Pontificum allows for an old rite parish. Why not erect one? They should have their own Church dedicated exclusively to the old rite. I don't believe a trad parish would be much different from the chaplaincy - it would be the same priests in the same church.

When the archbishop came for confirmations, we had tea and coffee in a suitable enough room, but thats because it was a specal occasion. I think the main reason is that there is an english mass at 12.00, and the 10.30 mass (Latin) isnt usually over until 10.30/10.40, and seen as the meeting room is in the actual church, it would probably be a bit too noisy. Also, there are two diffferent cofee shops that a group of us go to after the mass most Sundays. In Nomine Christi CPM

Also a reminder that theres a wedding on tomorow in St Kevins (Eamon Gaines of the LMSI). There is a high mass on Saturday at 10.30 for the feast of All Saints (the last high mass we had on a Saturday, the church was dissapointingly only half full if even) and on Monday (All Souls) there will two consecutive low requiems at 8.00 and 8.30 and a high requiem at 7.00.

There are two possibly significant differences between a chaplaincy and a dedicated parish: (1) A parish priest has certain canonical rights against the bishop (he cannot be removed without being offered a benefice of equal value) which is why there is an increasing tendency in certain dioceses for bishops not to appoint them. (2) If a traditionalist order were brought in to administer the parish this would give them canonical rights within the diocese which would make it very difficult indeed for a later bishop to remove them. (For an example of how this works see Mgr. Ambrose Macaulay's recent life of the 1890s Bishop McAllister of Down and Connor and his unsuccessful attempts to get rid of the Passionists whom a previous bishop had brought into the diocese and whom McAllister saw as competitors for funds and vocations).

Thanks, CPM. I'll let my friends who don't like the squallers know they can make alternative arrangements on the 7 & 21 December.

Updates on Christmas schedule: the music at High Mass on Christmas Eve (21.00) will be provided by the Choral Guild (the choir that used to provide music for mass in St Audeons) and I believe Carols will start at 20.30 or so. Also, on New Years Eve, there will be a High Mass at 19.00, this will be followed by Te Deum and Solemn Benediction. In Nomine Christi, CPM

Hi All, just to say that this week Fr. Finnegan (a former chaplain to the latin mass in Dublin) is celebrating his 100th birthday! The 10.30 mass on Sunday in Harrington Street will be a celebratory mass in honour of this great cenetenary, with the man himself being present of course. In Nomine Christi, CPM

The 10.30 mass on Sunday in Harrington Street will be a celebratory mass in honour of this great cenetenary, with the man himself being present of course. In Nomine Christi, CPM CPM is showing he is as clueless as ever. That is Father Proinnsias Ó Fionnagáin SJ, who assisted at the Dublin indult in St Paul's and St Audoen's over the years but was never chaplain to it (only Father Gerard Deighan has that distinction.) And as I would have thought, it is just like Gerry Deighan to expect a 100 year old priest to come to him rather than going a centenarian himself. Today is Father Ó Fionnagáin's birthday - not Sunday. And I would think St Francis Xavier Church in Gardiner St is a more appropriate venue. I think Father Deighan could learn a lot from Father Ó Fionnagáin if he was so disposed.

Woah, Askel, that is heavy. It is a bit. Is there a history we don't know about?
