Thanks to a generous donation from Ecclesia Dei Ireland, an association of the faithful dedicated to promoting the traditional liturgy, the Chaplaincy was able to commission a new set of vestments in honour of Our Lady. It is a complete High Mass set, with chasuble, dalmatic, tunicle, cope, humeral veil, chalice veil, burse, three stoles, and three maniples. The material is silk damask. The makers were the famous Roman firm of Gammarelli. The vestments arrived just in time to be put to use on the first Sunday of May.
