When the period of lockdown caused by the Covid-19 outbreak began, the daily online celebration of Holy Mass from The Oratory of St Joseph, the private chapel in Fr Len's garden in Inverness, attracted as many has 120 people each day for almost four months. The response was amazing.
During that period it was suggested that we might invite people to join in the Office of Compline from the Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham. We began with seven people one Wednesday evening and week by week more began to join us. At the end of lockdown in Scotland, it was agreed by everyone that we should continue with Compline ... indefinitely.
