The Bishop of Plymouth, Mark O’Toole, has announced that The Institute of Christ The King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP) is to take over a Church in Torquay, Devon.

It is The Church of The Holy Angels, a relatively modest-sized Church, that was built in the 1930s and located in a residential area of Chelston. The existing Parish Priest will be retiring shortly and the Parish will be merged with the much larger Church of The Assumption, which is located in another part of Torquay. 

Although there will continue to be some provision for Novus Ordo Masses at The Holy Angels Church, The Institute of Christ The King Sovereign Priest will offer daily Traditional Latin Masses, as well as The Divine Office and other Traditional Devotions.

Unlike the large Churches of the ICKSP in Preston and New Brighton, in the Dioceses of Lancaster and Shrewsbury, The Holy Angels Church was built to a modest budget and is not a great piece of Architecture. Neither is it a conspicuous building, being in a side street in a residential area. Nevertheless, the Interior is quite attractive, with a Romanesque Sanctuary Arch flanked by two smaller Arches. These are supported on Round Classical Columns.
