Greetings,<\/p>\n
Our Apostolate was created by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to provide a formal structure for the community using the 1962 Missal at St Paul\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Church on Christian Street. When Fr Carey<\/p>\n
left that parish the Community celebrated a Sung Mass each Sunday first at Holy Trinity Church, 6th and Spruce Streets and then at St Edmond\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Church at 21st Street and Snyder Ave. in South Philadelphia. It was able to have a full Holy Week at Holy Trinity and has celebrated with High Mass a number of the greater feasts at the Cathedral Basilica of SS Peter & Paul through the hospitality of the Rector, Father Dennis Gill.<\/p>\n
Despite the hard work and support of many, it became apparent that neither numbers nor income was sufficient to sustain a Sunday Mass after the end of Paschaltide this year.<\/p>\n
The Archdiocesan Worship Office suggested that regular worshippers at St Edmond\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s would find place at the long-established Mass in the Extraordinary Form celebrated at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes at 63rd Street and Lancaster Avenue in the Overbrook section of the City. The Traditional Latin Mass Community of Philadelphia has therefore been attached to the Traditional Latin Mass apostolate at that Parish.<\/p>\n
Everyone associated with the work at St Paul\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and the other locations is welcome at the 9.30 a.m.<\/span><\/span> Sung Mass each Sunday. It is hoped that many will attend and will add their support to the work at Our Lady of Lourdes.<\/p>\n Father Michael Rock, O. de M., has warmly welcomed those coming to the Extraordinary Form at the Parish. On the third Sunday of each month following Mass there is coffee and refreshments in the Parish Hall and newcomers may find this a useful place to meet the Lourdes congregation.<\/p>\n The Church is easily reached by public transportation either by the Paoli line of the Regional Rail System (the Overbrook Station is served hourly on Sundays), and by trolley service from the City Hall Station. Street Parking in the vicinity of the Church seems fairly easy to find.<\/p>\n We urge all our friends of the Traditional Latin Mass Community to support this celebration of the Latin Mass with their presence and generosity.<\/p>\n John T Lilley,<\/p>\n Co-ordinator<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Greetings, Our Apostolate was created by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to provide a formal structure for the community using the 1962 Missal at St Paul\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Church on Christian Street.
