TLM at Nativity BVM in Port Richmond

From Jon Frey, LLA Advisory Council Member

Hi Will,

I wanted to let you know that the pastor at Nativity BVM, where Fr. McKale is in residence, has agreed to the offering of the TLM at the parish on a trial basis. No date or time has been announced yet, but the pastor is seeking outside input on possible times and number of interested souls in attending Mass. Those who are interested can mail in a clipping from today’s bulletin to help them schedule the Mass. Due to Fr. McKale’s commitment at Holy Trinity, a regularly scheduled Sunday Mass will not be possible. Also, the first Mass will likely be a Low Mass due to the resources available to the parish (i.e., trained Schola, etc). I have made my interest known to the pastor, and offered any assistance that he may need. I’m sure the response to this and how well the first Mass is attended will impact future decisions.

I would appreciate it if you could post something on the LLA website that this parish is in the early stages of planning its first TLM in almost 40 years. If you could also attach the [following link to the] bulletin, so interested parties could notify the rectory via the form contained in the bulletin, that would be of help as well.

Thanks!
Jon
