2nd Sunday after Pentecost: External Solemnity of Corpus Christi, Announcements for Sunday, May 29, 2016

Priest: Rev. Fr. Gerald Carey

Mass Intention: Antonina Kyc (RIP) req. by Bianco Family

*****************

Regrettably, today Sunday, May 29 will be our last Mass together here at St. Edmond. As you no doubt know, attendance and consequently, finances have been steadily declining since the beginning of 2014 and have not abated. It is no longer possible to sustain. You are free of course to go where you wish. Fr. Kulczynski will still continue to maintain the website www.latinmassphila.org so if there is anything going on you can still find it there.

As you know, I formed a non-profit 503 c3 corporation. According to the IRS regulations, any monies left must be used for the same purpose as the corporation, which I listed as to support and promote the TLM. While I doubt any monies will be left after all the bills are paid, should there be anything left it will be given to Our Lady of Lourdes, whose pastor, Fr. Michael Rock has certified in writing that he would use those monies exclusively for the TLM.

Our time here is at an end; Fr. Gill intends to continue the holyday Masses at the cathedral. My role, if any, is as yet undetermined. For my part, I will continue to promote the TLM in whatever way God provides and I hope that you will as well. To all of you who worked so hard to further this apostolate, you have my gratitude, and more importantly, God will bless you for your sacrifices.

May God bless you all.

Fr. McKale
