Our Lady of Czestochowa Latin Mass Community Newsletter

Dear Rev.,

After more than a year of planning, I am pleased to announce that we have found a home for TLM in Bucks County at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa.  Father Rafal Walczyk, the Prior of the Monastery, has graciously given us permission to use their beautiful downstairs chapel for our Latin Mass.
Initially, the TLM will be monthly and then, assuming we have sufficient numbers to justify it, we will increase the frequency to weekly.   The monthly TLM mass will be held the SECOND SUNDAY of each month at 11 a.m.

The first Mass is only 2 1/2 weeks away.  It will be held on Sunday, July 10th at 11 a.m., and will be a Low Mass. Please mark this on your calendar and plan on attending.  Also, spread the word to anyone who might be interested.

Our Celebrant for this first Mass will be Fr. Jason Kulczynski.  He is the Pastor of Holy Martyrs in Oreland, Pennsylvania. I want to thank him for his interest and help in getting this Mass established.

In addition to Fr. Kulczynski, we do need other priests who are willing to assist us when he cannot accommodate our schedule.  Right now, we have one other priest who has agreed to help; ideally, though, we would like to have a group of 4-5 priests on whom we could rely to say Mass.  This should be a sufficient number so that if one priest has a conflict on a scheduled Sunday, we would be able to find a back-up from among the remaining priests. If you know a priest that might be willing to assist us, please let me know.  We are also in need of altar boys.

As we move forward, we also hope to be able to celebrate the TLM, on occasion, as a High Mass.  For this, we will need singers, so please let me know if this is something you could help with.  We also plan on creating a website for our Bucks County TLM Group in the near future.

Please pray for the success of the Latin Mass here in Bucks County and I hope to see you on Sunday, July 10th.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

James Todd
