Guest Steve Seaman Posted 10 June , 2004 Share Posted 10 June , 2004 Hi, Off to the Salient this weekend taking my son and his mate on their first trip.The only problem is that my son's friend is a devote Catholic and his mother insists he attend Mass. Can anyone suggest a Catholic Church in Ypres and preferably times of Mass. Thanks in anticipation Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viola Posted 10 June , 2004 Share Posted 10 June , 2004 I think there is one beside the Novotel in Ypres. (From the Menin gate, go directly up the street, take the first left and go down that street). I think I saw Mass times as 4pm on Saturday and 9am on Sunday. (Not sure what the story is with language though - I hope his Flemish is good!) I'm sure a local will have a better idea than me. -- Viola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul guthrie Posted 10 June , 2004 Share Posted 10 June , 2004 There is a huge Catholic Church just beside Cloth Hall, St Martin's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ypres Posted 10 June , 2004 Share Posted 10 June , 2004 Hi, I think you will find that the only church that is not RC is our own St Georges. Hope you all have a good weekend and fine weather. Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brummy Posted 10 June , 2004 Share Posted 10 June , 2004 I think you will find that the only church that is not RC is our own St Georges. I am a comited atheist and not very knowledgable on church related matters but st Georges is supposed to be multy denominational does that not mean that it s catholic as well as Prodestant (as well as others)?

Guest Steve Seaman Posted 10 June , 2004 Share Posted 10 June , 2004 Hi Brum, Neither am I , All I know is, I have orders from his Mother that he must attend Mass. I only go to Church for Hatch , Match and Disptach occassions. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevew Posted 10 June , 2004 Share Posted 10 June , 2004 I would've said St Martins................and it is worth a visit anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypres Posted 11 June , 2004 Share Posted 11 June , 2004 Hi all St Georges is inter-denominational but as this young man (and his family) are devout catholics he should go to RC mass as St Georges is slightly different. Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 11 June , 2004 Share Posted 11 June , 2004 As a Catholic... and not wanting to bore everyone in minutae, the Catholic Church requirement is that members attend a Roman Catholic mass, inter denominational services don't count. It has mostly to do with the belief we have that the wine and eucharist are actually turned into the blood and body of Christ, as well as the belief that only a Catholic priest can perform this miracle. As I said there are lots of minutae, and before any one gets too upset I have only tried to give a very high level cursory explanation here.

paul guthrie Posted 11 June , 2004 Share Posted 11 June , 2004 I have attended a service at St George's and thought it was COE, or Episcopal was we say in the USA except those of us raised Baptist who call em Whiskeypalians. They allow the consumption of swill! The lips that touch swill will never touch mine! ( Swill consumption among female pals will leap!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
