On Sunday 25 October, the traditional Feast of Christ the King, Fr. Peter Lee celebrated surely the very first Traditional Latin Mass – a Missa Cantata ever offered in the Church of St. Patrick, built in the 1960’s.
He was helped by altar boys from the Reedsburg, WI, area where Fr. Lee was last assigned was as well as some fellows from St. Mary’s Oratory in Rockford, IL. A team effort.
Congratulations to St. Patrick’s parish! This will be of great spiritual benefit.
Some photos.
His Excellency Most Reverend Donald J. Hying, Bishop of Madison, graciously consented to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation on 102 young Catholics on Thursday evening, 27 August 2020. The rite of Confirmation was followed by Solemn Mass in coram episcopo. The celebrant of the Mass was the President of the TMSM, Fr. Zuhlsdorf. The deacon and subdeacon were, respectively, Fr. Alex Navarro and Fr. Brian Dulli, both of whom, as pastors of parishes, had subjects beings confirmed.
The TMSM is deeply grateful to Fr. Scott Emerson, pastor of St. Mary Goretti parish, where the rites took place. He was great.
