During the COVID-19 lockdown Fr Brian has been streaming celebrations of the Mass, and a number of talks, from his home. You can follow these events via his Twitter account, @PadreBrian1, or via the Twitter feed on the front page of the St Boniface website. The schedule of future talks is shown on the St Boniface Calendar.

Below is a list of the talks (and the celebrations of two major Church events) that he has streamed during the last month:

Next Monday and Tuesday, August 14 and 15, the (Roman Catholic) diocese of Antwerp celebrates the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, its patron.

The celebrations will start on Monday at 18:00 with a procession, in which the statue of Virgin and Child will be carried around the perimeter of the cathedral. In the event of poor weather, the procession will be inside the cathedral.

[Hint to young residents of Antwerp: don’t forget that Tuesday is also Antwerp’s mothers’ day!].

Visit by Cathedral Singers, Christ Church Oxford

Last Sunday the Cathedral Singers of Christ Church Oxford visited us, to sing at the Sunday Eucharist.

As ever, we took photos ( Jan Heuvelmans, SB_Webmaster).

Regrettably the photos aren’t able to reflect the excellence of their singing! Our many thanks to them for this superb visit.

[Update: the choir have sent us their thanks for the lunch that we provided. Many thanks to everyone who helped!].
