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?
Fr. Gabriel was the deacon. The subdeacon has helped out at Holy Rosary and is usually at OLF in Pequannock.
Fr. Gabriel was one of the founders of the Servants Minor of St. Francis in Scranton, PA. It was a traditional Franciscan order that has been supressed. Fr. Gabriel is now a diocesan priest.
