First Friday and First Saturday TLM’s for December

First Friday, December 5, A.D. 2014, Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will be offered by Fr. Gerald Carey, Parochial Vicar of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church, at the Rectory Chapel of St. Albert The Great Parish, 212 Welsh Road, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006, (T) 215-947-3500, at 7 p.m. preceded by Confessions at 6:30 p.m. This TLM will be a Ferial Mass of Advent with Commemoration of St. Sabbas, Abbot, offered in Reparation to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Purple/Violet vestments.

First Saturday, December 6, A.D. 2014 Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will also be offered by Fr. Gerald Carey, at the Rectory Chapel of St. Albert The Great Parish, at 9 a.m., preceded by Confessions at 8:30 a.m. This TLM will be the Mass of St. Nicholas, Wonderworker and Archbishop of Myra, offered in Reparation to The Immaculate Heart of Mary. White vestments.

The St. Albert The Great Rectory, also known as the Parish Center, is behind the Church, which fronts on Welsh Road.

As you know, the well-documented holiness and generosity of St. Nicholas, Patron of: children, bakers, and the country of Russia, is the origin of what our sin-sick world has unfortunately degenerated and corrupted into with its current commercial-carnival of Santa Claus and Operation Wretched Excess.

THIS First Saturday Traditional Latin Mass, in particular, is an exceptional opportunity for you to not only make loving and generous reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for which it is ALWAYS intended, but also to strike a powerful spiritual blow against the secular consumer-cancer of “Jingle Bells”, “Happy Holidays” (from what should be HOLY DAYS), “Black Friday” shopping brawls (they really are BLACK in more ways than one), “Cyber Monday”, credit-card debt, and everything else that attempts to kick CHRIST out of the preparatory and penitential season of ADVENT leading up to CHRIST’s MASS (Christmas).

As you know, these are the only continuously-scheduled, canonically-regular, First Friday-First Saturday, Traditional Latin Masses in the entire Archdiocese of Philadelphia. There are no others.
