An Ordination at the London Oratory

The NLM wishes to both announce as well as send our heartfelt congratulations to Fr. Edward van den Bergh, a priest of the London Oratory, who was ordained to the priesthood this past October 22nd by Archbishop Vincent Nichols.

The setting for the Mass was Lassus' Missa Bell' Amfitrit' altera (of which you can hear the Kyrie here -- sung in another context -- if you would like a sample.)

The pictures provide not only a view of this splendid and joyous occasion, but will also provide our readers generally with yet another view of the London Oratory and its well-merited reputation for liturgical excellence. Do enjoy and once again, congratulations to Fr. Edward and the London Oratory.
