Thank you for posting this. I live near Boston and attend the Latin Mass at the Holy Trinity Church in S. Boston. We have a Fr. Johnson too, and like the priest in this story he is aged and infirm. Sadly, the Boston newspapers very recently listed the Holy Trinity Church as one of the churches that is being considered for closing by the Archdiocese due to the financial crisis resulting from the sex scandal. Making matters worse, this old Chruch is an historical shrine of sorts, with a grand high altar, incredible architecture, gorgeous statuary, near life-size Stations, stained glass windows and huge, marvelous murals painted high on the walls. It's a crying shame what is happening to our beloved Catholic Church. But the Church will prevail.

This is "St. Ann's Part Deux." (If you don't know what I am talking about, a similar situation took place earlier this year with St. Ann's Armenian Catholic Church in New York City). I visited this church this past year on All Saints Day. It is so beautiful. It would be a crying shame if they closed this church.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Holy Trinity is on the list! Doesn't seem fair, does it? I went there once (I live in NH) and not only did I love it, but my children were very impressed!
