Do you remember those now distant days when we tried to change from "singing at Mass" to "singing the Mass"? Seems like my efforts in our parish have been wasted! Granted the restrictions imposed by the pandemic have shot away a lot of what we have been ...

I would just like (while we are still with the Octave of Christmas!) to wish all our forum participators, readers and members of the SSG all good wishes for Christmas and the New Year. I hope all your liturgies worked out well (and if they didn't...there's always next year!). Let us hope and pray ...

For the first time, I have deleted a full thread from this forum. It had become a vehicle for continued anti vaccine and similar conspiracy views regarding the COVID pandemic, with little discussion about liturgy. This will not be allowed. This forum is about liturgy and for reasoned and sensible ...

I have no issue with reasoned comment/discussion about the current restrictions on the way liturgy can be carried on in public and the extent to which they may or may not be necessary or desirable - indeed it would be welcomed (assuming that it complies with the normal rules for this forum). I agree ...

This thread has gone down a 'rabbit hole' that has nothing to do with liturgy. I have deleted the relevant posts and I have locked the thread.

This topic has still not moved into a discussion about liturgy so I have edited it to remove further irrelevant posts and locked it.

I have let this run for a bit in the hope that it would lead to a discussion of liturgical matters. It's not really going that way at the moment. I have edited the thread a bit and will leave it running for a bit longer. If it does not move into matters liturgical reasonably soon I will close it off.

Wishing a happy and holy Easter to all our readers and contributors - and hoping all your liturgies went as well as possible in these strange times!

This has given rise to a few queries locally and I have asked One License for further information. I will update as soon as I hear anything.

After some inconsistencies in the Government's guidelines that were issued last night which have now been resolved, the Bishops Conference has just directed that all Catholic Churches in England & Wales should be completely closed with immediate affect. This will soon be disseminated through the ...

The Archbishops of England & Wales have announced that public Mass will cease as of Friday evening (20th March). Here is the note about how liturgies are to be celebrated.

This is just to wish all our members and subscribers to the Forum a happy and holy Easter. We hope your Holy Week liturgies have gone as well as you hoped, and that your Easter celebrations are a great success, both liturgically and spiritually (if you can treat those two separately!).

Don't ...

We wish all members of the Society and participators in this forum and their families a happy and holy Christmas - and hope that all your Christmas liturgies have gone well!

I hate to be a party pooper, but the last 9 postings have had virtually nothing to do with Liturgical Tourism. When I get a bit of time later I will set up a new topic for the translation issues and move the relevant postings to it so that this thread can properly reflect its title and the ...
