Venue
The Masses take place in the 'hidden chapel' at the historic Bar Convent in York, thanks to the generosity of the Sisters of the Congregation of Jesus. It is the oldest continuously operating house of a religious congregation in Britain. The Bar Convent has a long history of offering sanctuary, and began its life to support minorities suffering persecution by civil and religious authorities at the time.
Those travelling to York from a long distance might like to consider staying at The Bar Convent which has excellent B&B facilities.
