A message from Father Edmund and Canon Wiener

Since 2018 the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest had been invited by His Lordship, Bishop Davies, to participate in the ministry at the Cathedral of Shrewsbury. In autumn of this year 2020, the Institute has been welcomed to celebrate Holy Mass at the Cathedral also on Sundays at 9:30 am, in addition to weekday Masses.

The Institute’s clergy and many faithful from near and far felt very honoured and are most grateful for this generous invitation by Bishop Davies who, by including the Sunday into the liturgical schedule for the Extraordinary Form Masses, had the spiritual welfare and health of all the faithful in Shrewsbury at his heart.

Unfortunately, the celebrations of Masses in the Extraordinary Form on Sundays are not easily possible without disrupting the very active community life at the Cathedral parish and causing organisational difficulties for all faithful. Upon request of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, His Lordship graciously decided therefore to change the location of the Masses on Sundays: Starting on Sunday, January 3rd, 2021, Masses in the Extraordinary Form will be celebrated (again) at 12:30 pm at St. Winefrides Church, Crowmere Road, Monkmoor, Shrewsbury, SY2 5RA.

The liturgical schedule on weekdays remains unchanged and as announced on December 13th. We are certain that this change will be very beneficial for the entire community of faithful in the entire diocese of Shrewsbury.

Father Edmund Montgomery and Canon Michael Wiener
