Well Fr. Gabriel is a former Franciscan. He formed a diocesan Traditional Franscican Order in the Diocese of Scranton, but the Bishop eventually supressed the order.

Now there was an actual Franciscan at St. Anthony's a couple of weeks back, I forget his name, but he is a Franciscan from the Diocese of New York who Fr. Perricone converted to Traditionalism. This Franciscan only says the latin mass now, but he previously was a very very Liberal Catholic.

They had a High Solemn mass for Christmas's Midnight mass, and I suspect they will use the same format for the High Requiem mass. At the Christmas mass Fr. Perricone was the celebrant, Fr. Gabriel was the Deacon, and they had a "straw" deacon as the sub-deacon, so he was a layman who knew the rubrics and responses.

BTW Mike how are things going at Jersey City? Is the Bishop still thinking about closing up Holy Rosary?

Hi. I moved from New Jersey to Raleigh, NC back last August, so I'm an ignoramus as to what's up at Holy Rosary.

Down here, there's an indult one Sunday a month and on some weekdays. We had a sung Mass on the 19th, the first diocesan one. Father Parkerson's Southron accent isn't too strong, but I can say I've heard Latin with Chinese, Italian, Chicago, and northern New Jersey accents.

[looks right and left and leans closer] There's also the SSPX.
