There will be a Solemn High Requiem Mass for the late Cardinal Pole at 6.30pm on Monday 17 November at Corpus Christi, Maiden Lane, 6.30pm. Fr Nicholas Schofield, Archivist of the Archdiocese of Westminster and author of the Roman Miscellany blog, will be preaching.

Am I correct in thinking that Cardinal Pole is buried in the retro-choir of Canterbury Cathedral? If so, I look forward to the day when a requiem may be offered in that cathedral.
There will also be a traditional Missa Cantata in the chapel of Pole's alma mater, Magdalen College Oxford, at 7pm on the same day, which is the 450th Anniversary of his death.
All are welcome!
I remember a visit to Canterbury Cathedral and being rather startled to see a wooden hanging bearing a cardinals coat of arms.
A cleric belonging to the cathedral staff walked by and I asked him about the coat of arms. He replyed saying Oh,the RC's recently put that up.I was standing by Cardinal Pole's tomb,the last Archbishop of Canterbury.
