All this May jollity is drawing to a close soon of course and we enter into the month of the Sacred Heart. Devotion continues apace in individual parishes, however and in societies. Walsingham being one place with round-the-clock Mariological activity and of course there is the unsleeping eye of the Society of Mary website. I am gratified to find that there is a link to this website from the Gallery page as well as the local (north west) ward gallery as well. The Society has a full programme of events throughout the year including the May Devotions at St Silas Martyr in London, pictured above in 2005. You may even catch a glimpse of your scribe wearing a lace rochet if you look carefully. This is probably where I developed my allergy for I have not been near the stuff since! The Society of Mary website is found at http://www.societyofmary.net/ and comes recommended.
