Vestment Mending Workshop in Oxford

Lucy writes: As Lent neared its close, the Oxford Chapter met on 1st April to consolidate our progress on the various projects we have undertaken for the Lenten Vestment Mending Challenge. We were very grateful to Fr Daniel Lloyd for offering us the hospitality of Holy Rood, the chapel of ease under his care, for our gathering. Prayers continue for the liberty of the Traditional Mass.
