Although usually on March 19, the Feast of St Joseph is transferred to the following day this year due to the 19th being the Third Sunday of Lent. Please join us — and invite family and friends — as we celebrate the Holy Sacrifice in honor of the Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the full splendor of the Pontifical liturgy.

The forty days, which St. Luke tells us in Acts had passed between Christ’s Resurrection and His glorious Ascent into Heaven, are nearly completed. On Thursday, May 30, 2019, at 6:30 PM, we will have a Solemn Mass at St. Mary’s Pine Bluff to commemorate the Ascension of Our Lord.
On August 1, 2016, Bishop Robert Morlino will celebrate a Pontifical Requiem Mass at the Throne for Msgr. Delbert Schmelzer, a previous vicar general of the Diocese of Madison who passed away on July 2, 2016. This is the “month’s mind” Mass, which the church traditionally celebrates one month after death.
Mass begins at 7:00pm at Holy Name Heights Chapel (previously known as the Bishop O’Connor Center).
Victoria’s Requiem à 4 will be sung, and clergy are welcome to sit in choir.
We have now entered the liturgical season of Lent, and thus violet vestments have been the norm for the last three Sundays. The TMSM had been using portions of our violet Pontifical set until recently, so to avoid uneven wear to that set, we have acquired a separate Solemn Mass set.
This new set arrived from Rome in time for the last Sunday of Advent, but we did not have the opportunity to use it for a Solemn Mass until Quinquagesima and Ash Wednesday. Both Masses involved our diocesan vocations director as one of the Sacred Ministers, and Quinquagesima included a seminarian in choro, while Ash Wednesday included a seminarian as a server, demonstrating again that Tradition is very much a part of the future.
Our next vestment project is a white set with silver trim and blue moirè lining, which the tailors at Gammarelli have begun producing. This will include a standard Pontifical Mass set, with both a St Philip Neri-style chasuble, and a standard Roman chasuble, plus an extra-large Philip Neri chasuble and dalmatic.
After the white set, our next goal will be an improved black set to supersede the relatively cheap set which had to be obtained in a rush for the first of Bp Morlino’s annual All Souls’ Day Pontifical Requiems.
If you would like to help us with vestments for the beautiful, dignified, reverent celebration of the Most Holy Sacrifice, you can make a tax-deductible donation to Tridentine Mass Society of Madison, a 501(c)(3) organization, without any service fees extracted by mailing a check to:
