This year the Pilgrimage will be celebrated by the veteran Bellocian Father John Emerson, and will be followed by prayers at Belloc's grave and a French military trumpet piece to rouse the spirits!

The annual summer school for older children will take place again at Pantasaph in North Wales. More details in due course.
This will be the 3rd Residential Latin Course organised by the LMS and we are returning to last year's venue at Pantasaph, North Wales. The course is intensive, over six days, with its own accommodation in the St Winifrede’s Guest House in Holywell, which is run by the Bridgettine Sisters. The Latinists will be able to attend the daily Missa Cantata and sung Compline which are part of the Summer School’s timetable. In addition to language teaching the course participants will have talks on Gregorian Chant, the Latin liturgy, and Latin in Philosophy and poetry. The Latin Mass Society’s Latin coursebook, ‘Simplicissimus’, is used as an aid in the course, and all participants are given a copy. More details here.
Mass at 12 noon. The address is Brinkburn Priory, Longframlington, nr Morpeth NE65 8AR. The priory was once the home of Augustinian canons who chose this idyllic riverside site in the midst of the beautiful countryside of Northumberland. The priory is situated between the towns of Morpeth & Rothbury. It is hoped that the Mass will be a Solemn High Mass and it will be celebrated on Saturday 14 September 2013 at 12 noon. Please make a note in your diary as this is a wonderful setting for the EF of the Mass and we are (usually) blessed with lovely sunshine. It is hoped that a polyphonic Mass will be performed together with the Proper from the Liber Usualis.
This annual pilgrimage to Aylesford Priory and the Shrine of St Simon Stock will run this year from 1.30pm until 5.00pm, starting with Sung Mass. It will include a spiritual talk, confessions, Rosary and Benediction. We will be running a coach from London. Final details to be confirmed.
Time and details to be confirmed.
Timed to coincide with the Una Voce Federation Assembly (see below), this is the first LMS pilgrimage to the Eternal City. We anticipate Masses in major churches in Rome, a tour of holy sites and time for pilgrims to do some sightseeing of their own. Prices and details of travel arrangements are still being finalised (as at January 2013), but please contact us on info@lms.org.uk or 020 7404 7284 to let us know if you are interested in going (no commitment at this stage) so that we can assess likely numbers. More details here.

Confirmations will take place at St James's, Spanish Place, London W1U 3QY.

For more information or to register yourself or your child, please phone the LMS office on 020 7404 7284.
The date above is correct. We have booked early because we will be having a couple of very special guests at the 2014 pilgrimage. More details to be released later.
This date is provisional at present. We are planning to follow a format similar to that of our first One-Day Conference that took place in 2012. The second of these biennial events will be centred on a common theme, and we hope to have a number of well-known figures (including from overseas) as guest speakers. Further details will follow in due course.
