The altar of Our Lady of Oxford came originally from the private chapel of Hartwell de la Garde Grissell on the High Street. Grissell’s chapel became the place where many entered the Catholic Church, and these new Catholics all received their First Communion from this altar. Today, this same altar served as a fitting place to continue a 150 year old tradition. Many congratulations to Edward, who was baptised today, and was confirmed and received his First Holy Communion at Grissell’s altar. #oxfordoratory
