St Mary Magdalen Priest Forced to Celebrate Ad Orientem



Henry from St Mary Magdalen's posted this excellent picture of Fr Ray Blake celebrating Mass at the parish on Sunday. At the front you can see the Sanctuary floor being taken up before a new one is layed down this week. In the meantime, Fr Ray was forced to celebrate Mass Ad Orientem. There would have been no room to move on the other side. This picture makes a lot of sense!

  3. I wonder if there will be enough room for the priest to face the people after the altar has been moved?
