Today Our Parish came together for the celebration of mass in recognition of Saint John Henry Newman becoming a Doctor of the Catholic Church.It is believed that Newman may have preached at The Immaculate Conception as He was invited by Henry Constable Maxwell, (who built the church in 1854) a letter of invitation still held by the Birmingham Oratory.
We were blessed with beautiful weather too and a special Thanks goes to Canon Patrick Wall from the Parish of St. John Henry Newman Crossgates for preaching at today's mass and for bringing us a first class relic to venerate.
Thanks to all who attended and to all those who helped with Refreshments after mass to make this a special day.

For anyone coming along to Scarthingwell on Sunday, the time has been brought forward at the request of the Parish.

Details below.

Sunday 24th August. 5.15pm.
Church of the Immaculate Conception & St John of Beverley, Scarthingwell
Lakeside, Scarthingwell Park LS24 9PH

Apologies for the additional message, but the parish have requested that we bring this forward to 5.15pm before the evening Mass. This is to facilitate refreshments for everyone after the Mass. Whilst it's unusual for Night Prayer to start so early, it's certainly not the earliest time I've ever sung Compline, some notable cases in Leeds Cathedral were even earlier than this!

Come along and either chant or listen to this beautiful Gregorian Chant Office, the traditional Night Prayer of the Church. We've done this a few times before, as some people have told us that it's the perfect way to prepare for the pilgrimage the following day.

This will be Sunday Compline as you've never heard it before! We shall be singing Compline according to the Use of York. It's possible, (admittedly unlikely) that this could have been sung in recusant households during St Margaret's lifetime. We believe that it's certainly the first time that it will have been sung liturgically since the Reformation.

Compline will commence shortly before the Sunday evening Mass, around 5.15pm. There will be a rehearsal earlier in the afternoon at 4pm, which will last for about 45 minutes, giving us some time to prepare for the Office itself. If you wish to join in with the chant, please make every effort to attend this rehearsal! Lifts to Scarthingwell can possibly be arranged, either from west/central York or pick up from Church Fenton Railway Station.
