A Pilgrimage to Elgin Cathedral in Scotland
The liturgy, which took place with the cooperation of Historic Environment Scotland, was preceded by a period of Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction in the chapel of nearby Greyfriars Convent, now home to the Dominican Sisters of St Cecilia from Nashville, Tennessee. For retreat participants, this afforded the opportunity to worship in two of only four pre-reformation churches in Scotland still in use for Catholic worship today: like Pluscarden Abbey, Greyfriars Convent returned to Catholic ownership in the nineteenth century through the munificence of John, 3rd Marquess of Bute, and was later restored to allow worship to recommence in the building. The Mass itself featured Gregorian chants identical to those which would have been sung in the cathedral during its heyday, with the liturgical forms being practically indistinguishable from the rites celebrated there many centuries ago.
Commenting on the historic event, Confraternity President Mark Hamid said, “It is wonderful to have been able to incorporate a visit to Elgin into our weekend retreat to Pluscarden Abbey, and we are particularly grateful to Historic Environment Scotland and the Dominican Sisters for allowing us to use these historic places of worship. It has been an undoubted highlight of our experience to restore the celebration of Holy Mass to a place where it was offered with daily devotion for more than three centuries, and all the more meaningful to use the form of the Sacred Rites that is so similar to the liturgy used during that period.”
