Traditional Mass at Holy Trinity


September 14, 2007

This Announcement was Emailed to The Remnant on September 8th

 

Fr. John Connolly, Rector of Holy Cross Cathedral (recently named administrator of Holy Trinity) has officially given his consent to the request that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in its Extraordinary Form (Tridentine) will be celebrated at Holy Trinity (German) Church in Boston's South End. The Mass will be offered in thanksgiving for Pope Benedict XVI's recent motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum. The Mass will be celebrated by Rev. William McInnis, SJ on Friday, 14 September  2007 at 6:30pm. All parishioners and friends of Holy Trinity are cordially invited to attend. Given that Holy Trinity was the home to the Indult Mass for 17 years, it is a fitting place to celebrate the Holy Father's gift on the day it takes effect. This will be a low Mass but, in keeping with Holy Trinity tradition, there will be music. Genevieve Schmidt, Director of Music, is responsible for the music program.  Please get the word out!

Odd news, considering the "particularly low" interest of the Traditional Latin Mass in New England. Perhaps there are more "disaffected Catholics" there than Cardinal O'Malley would lead us to believe.

It’s especially interesting because Cardinal Sean called an all-day mandatory meeting of all the diocesan priests on September 14th. His timing is impeccable.

Holy Trinity was able to get a religious order priest.

Yes Cardinal Sean gave permission knowing we’d e hard pressed to find anyone. I bet he never thought I’d find a Jesuit. That must have been a shock.
