Dear Friends:

Gratefully,

William A. Torchia, Esq., Chairman

We would like to remind our members to continue to check this site for all future Traditional Catholic events and Mass.

We may on certain occasions send out notices to the membership.

William A. Torchia, Esq. Chairman

There will be a Low Mass with hymns for the Feast of St. Thomas More, minor patron of the servers’ guild, at 11 a.m. this Saturday, 9 July, 2011.

The Mass will be celebrated at St. Mary Magdalen dei Pazzi, 7th and Montrose Streets (Two blocks from St. Paul’s). St. Mary’s is the other church which includes St. Paul’s Parish.

Bring your Missals so you can follow along. We hope to see as many of you there as possible.

Dear friends:

The LLA, Inc., Philadelphia Chapter is delighted to announce that Timothy F. Mulligan, Esquire, has accepted the position as Vice Chairman of the Chapter. Timothy sings in the choir every Sunday at St. Paul’s, and also serves on the Sacred Music Committee, headed by Michael Lawrence, organist and choir director for the TLM at St. Paul’s

We also want to take this opportunity to thank all of the benefactors who contributed to the funding of our first Annual Solemn High Mass, on June 30th. Your response to our request was remarkable. Special thanks to the members of the Advisory Council who both contributed and worked so hard to plan this Mass. We hope this is just the beginning of an Annual Solemn High Mass of the Chapter. The attendance was very good, even though it was a week night. We thank all who took the time and effort to attend.

Please allow me to bring to your attention the official site of the Chapter, which can be found at
www.latinliturgy.org/phila/. We urge you to check this site regularly for announcements of future TLM’s. The purpose of the site is to avoid the repetition of general mailings to the membership for every event or TLM. It is a centralized location where you can find information you need concerning the activities of the Chapter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Gratefully,

William A. Torchia, Esq., Chairman
