Joseph Shaw, Chairman of the Latin Mass Society of
England and Wales said
“Under the law of the Church, we can offer for the repose of the soul of the late Queen, as a baptized Christian, not only private prayers but also public Requiem Masses. Although many have already been said for her, we are following the longstanding custom of celebrating one exactly a month after her death, and we will do so with the greatest possible solemnity.”
All are welcome to attend. For further information email: info@lms.org.uk
