DEDICATED TO THE CHURCH OF ST. ALBAN
THE MARTYR, HOLBORN, AND TO ITS VICAR,
THE REV. H. ROSS, ONE OF THE PROMOTERS
OF THE FIRST ANGLO-CATHOLIC CONGRESS

PREFACE

IN placing before the public this Souvenir of what is possibly the greatest landmark in the history of Anglo-Catholicism in the present cntury, it is believed a real requirement will be supplied. Much has been written on the great event, and the official Transactions will give a record of the proceedings; therefore it is not intended to endeavour to supply anything but a pictorial memento.

The Congress opened on June 29th, 1920, with High Mass at the Church of St. Alban, Holborn—a church, it is worthy of noting, which has been the centre of Catholicism in England since the days of its first vicar, Father Mackonochie. Of his pioneer work, Father Russell, the doyen of Catholic priests, wrote recently:—"Upon the ground which he, with others, won and held, every later advance has been continuously made. We of this time are heirs of their victory, therefore trustees to those who come after us, to hand on unimpaired with the faith for which they suffered, their courage and their patient hope.

Twelve hundred priests, marshalled in fours, and preceded by a great Crucifix (from St. Matthew's, Westminster) made up the body of the procession. Twenty-two bishops followed, among whom were representatives of Scotland, Africa, Asia and Australia. The Bishops of Atlanta and Pennsylvania represented the United States of America, and the Archbishop of Cyprus the Orthodox Eastern Church.

Father Ross, the vicar of St. Alban's, celebrated, assisted by the venerable Father Russell, for 50 years curate at St. Alban's, as deacon, and Father Whitley as sub-deacon.
