The Latin Mass Society has announced its seventh residential conference for priests who wish to learn the Extraordinary Form of Mass. The conference will take place at Buckfast Abbey, Buckfastleigh, Devon from Tuesday 3rd to Friday 6th May.Tuition [read: instruction] will be given in small groups selected according to ability, and will cover Low Mass, Missa Cantata and Missa Solemnis. It is also hoped to provide tuition in the sacraments of baptism and marriage. Only rudimentary Latin is required.
There will also be a residential course for laymen wishing to learn to serve the Extraordinary Form.
The conference will begin late morning on the Tuesday, although there will be the opportunity for those travelling long distances to stay at Buckfast Abbey on the Monday night. The conference will end after lunch on the Friday.
There will be sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form each day; parts of the Office will also be sung.

I know Buckfast quite well from my childhood and I’m delighted to hear that the LMS conference is going to be there! I hope that both the attendees and the Community receive much grace from this. The Abbey church has many very beautiful side chapels which before the advent of concelebration were used each day. Such joy to know that our priests and gents will have an opportunity to learn the older service of the altar there!
