It is part of the Oratorian tradition in England to keep alive the use of Latin in the liturgy. Although the majority of our Masses are celebrated in English, Masses in Latin (in the current Roman Rite) take place at the following times:
Sunday at 11am - Solemn Mass in Latin
Wednesday at 6pm - Said Mass in Latin
Holydays of Obligation at 6pm - Solemn Mass in Latin
In addition, Vespers and Benediction is sung in Latin on Sundays at 5.30pm, and on the eves of Holydays of Obligation (Monday-Friday) at 6.30pm
At the request of the Archdiocese, Mass in Latin according to the Missal of 1962 (Old Rite) is now offered regularly at the Oratory. These Masses take place at the following times:
Sunday at 8am
Holydays of Obligation at 12.15pm
Copies of the texts for the Mass, in Latin and English, are made available at the back of church for these Masses.
