The The Priory Chapel and Cathedral Church of Our Lady of Beaulieu
A sanctuary of the independent Ecumenical Catholic Church UK - an inclusive and welcoming church. Whilst we seek to uphold the ancient faith and practice of the Universal Church, independent churches are unencumbered with centralised government and discipline and are free to administer the Holy Sacraments within their own discipline and jusrisdiction. In particular we reach out to members of marginalised groups and respect the autonomy and dignity of the individual and do not impose certain styles of spiritual and daily life, which we believe are personal matters.
Services offered
Sacraments of the Church
As well as the regular Sunday Mass, the Priory Chapel and Cathedral Church is able to offer all the Sacraments of the Church upon request. We are also happy to respond to individual requirements. For example, recent requests have included Baptism & Confirmation (infant & adult), Reconciliation (Confession), Renewal of Marriage Vows, Ordination (Diaconate & Priesthood), Sacrament of the Sick (home/hospital) with Holy Communion and Holy Unction (annointing), Requiem Mass for a departed loved one (following loss or on an anniversary). In addition, all clergy offer a personally tailored funeral service sensitive to the needs of the family.
Style
Although our worship is traditional in style, there is a lot of flexibility in our approach. For example, on the first and third Sundays we use a modern rite (the third Sunday has a Celtic flavour), whereas on the remaining Sundays we use the traditional English Missal. There is also a uniquely ECCUK (New Sarum) rite open to our use.
Liturgical Year
We celebrate the entire liturgical year from Advent to Christ the King.
