This to be led by a Deacon or (sadly the oft-maligned) EHMC. If Holy Communion is to be distributed (and why not?) then some form of penitential element should be included. Also the congregation should hear the Readings (including the Gospel) of the Sunday (why not?). And why not some prayers of the Holy Mass of the Day, including Bidding Prayers? Fair enough, Derek, if there is no Sunday or Vigil Mass, but when these services take place mid week, in a parish that has a Sunday Mass, they are in disobedience to directives laid down by the Vatican. Therefore, I say no parish priest is allowed to permit them in "his" church. How often, and in how many locations in Britain, is there regularly, no Sunday Mass available in a parish, apart from places as remote as offshore islands off Scotland and in the Scillies?
