Re: SSG Assembly - 14/15 October in Liverpool
Sorry to have missed this but as Provincial President of the Catenians Province 7 we had our provincial weekend on the Isle of Wight. Mass was at Quarr Abbey which was lovely apart from the celebrant the Prior leaving us after the first reading. Where had he gone? To turn the sound system on! 
I was at the organ wondering what was happening. For one horrible moment I thought he was objecting to Liz singing the psalm as only male servers were allowed but that was not the case. Apparently it is unheard of for hymns to be sing at the Abbey. We sang the Duffy Gloria, psalm setting by Eugene Monaghan and simple plainchant Sanctus and Agnus Dei.
