[SSPX Chapel Cape Town] Public Masses and devotions: 1-7 June 2020

[Fr. John Jenkins]

Dear Faithful,

Thanks to the concession of the President of South Africa, we are 
very happy to announce the reopening of our chapel for public 
devotions. Although the guidelines are rather restrictive, we are 
nonetheless rejoice in being able to provide the sacraments again 
for the faithful. The guidelines very clearly state that the 
congregation should not number over 50 persons, and that they must 
be placed in the chapel a certain distance. You can read about 
these "alert level 3" restrictions in the link provided at the end 
of this email[1]. Sanitizer will be provided, but please bring 
your masks with you.

Since level 3 restrictions do not let many people return to work, 
and as we have many persons who join our audio stream from other 
parishes, we will for the moment continue our usual program with 
the added benefit of allowing some souls to assist at Mass in the 
chapel. To this end the gate and chapel doors will be open every 
morning at 6:30am for those who would like to assist at morning 
prayers and meditation or adore Our Lord in the Blessed 
Sacrament. They will be locked after the Mass for security 
considerations but anyone wishing to make a visit need but send a 
message to Fr. Jenkins who will open for you.

For this coming Sunday we will have three Masses. In order to not 
over reach the number of fifty persons, it is recommended that 
those of the Northern Suburbs to assist at the early morning Mass 
at 7:00. The Sung Mass will be at 9:00am, and recommended for 
those living in the Southern Suburbs. Of course these 
recommendations are only for your convenience so as not to be 
stuck in the street during the Mass and you are more than welcome 
to assist at whichever Mass is suitable, provided that we adhere 
to the regulations.

The Mass at 11:30 will be preceded by a conference at 11:00 which 
will be an instruction on the Latin Mass. This is especially for 
those who are new to the Traditional Mass and would like to know 
more about it. Thus those who are not regular members of our 
chapel are invited to assist at the Conference and Mass at 11:00, 
but are welcome to assist at either Mass again provided we adhere 
to regulations.

Please note that we are not allowed to gather after the Mass as we 
are accustomed to do, and so you are requested to simply return 
home after the Mass. This of course is very far from ideal and not 
at all our custom, but we must for the moment adhere to the 
regulations which prohibit social gatherings.

Through the week there will also be Rosary and Benediction in the 
evening at 6pm, to which you may also assist if you wish. In the 
presence of more than 3 persons there will also be confession 
available during the Rosary.

All of the Masses and devotions will also be streamed by audio, 
which you can listen to directly with a web browser at 
http://url.fsspx.me/chapel or with the Mumble application [see 
http://url.fsspx.me/mumbleapp].

Each and everyday this week there will be morning prayers and a 
meditation at 6:30. At 12:30, or midday, there will be a brief 
visit to the Blessed Sacrament and the Regina Caeli. Please note 
that due to an apostolic voyage to Robertson there will be no 
midday prayers on Friday.

There will be many conferences offered on the Mumble application 
during this week. Everyday there will be a spiritual conference at 
5pm. On Monday and Wednesday there will be a conference on the 
history of the SSPX at 8pm, especially for those who are new to 
Tradition or even for the ancients who would like to know more how 
the Society of St. Pius X was founded and its struggles throughout 
the past 50 years. On Tuesday and Saturday there are history 
lessons at 2pm. The Latin lesson is tentatively scheduled for 2pm 
on Thursday, but this may be changed as many students return to 
work and school. This latin lesson will be confirmed on the 
Telegram Group of the class.

There is also a WhatsApp group where the sermons and conferences 
are published everyday where you can listen to them at your 
leisure. You can simply email Father to receive the link to join 
this group.

For the Spiritual Conferences we will be treating of the Moral 
Virtues.
