Stabat Mater Menevia

Stabat Mater Menevia
We praise you O Lord and we bless you, for by thy Holy Cross thou hast redeemed the world

Wednesday 8 February 2012

A matter of interest......finances, that is

You may like to know how your contributions at Mass are used. They are collected and handed to Luigi Dimaio who has opened a bank account in the Confraternity name.

Then, roughly three times a year, each parish that has been kind enough to welcome us for Mass to be celebrated, receives a sum of cash to cover heating, lighting and any other  costs.

Any priest that travels, on behalf of the Confraternity, receives petrol expenses.

Hopefully, at the end of a year, we will have a small sum left over and we hope to be able to buy vestments, Altar Cards and other items to supplement the various centres where Mass is said.

We also have a sum set aside for Priest Training (thank you to those who contributed). The problem is in identifying priests who are willing or have the time to set aside for these programmes.

We adore Thee, O Christ and we
praise Thee, because, by Thy Holy
Cross Thou hast redeemed the world
Please pray that the crucified Christ, in His infinite mercy, will send us one or more of His chosen ones who will step into the breach and undergo training.

And pray for all of our existing priests that they may be able to continue to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form.

MASS NEXT SUNDAY 12TH FEBRUARY WILL BE AT THE CHURCH OF ST THERESE OF LISIEUX, SANDFIELDS, NR PORT TALBOT AT 5PM - CELEBRANT, FATHER PAUL BROPHY
