Discovering Juventutem in America \u00e2\u20ac\u201d in Boston, Miami, DC and Michigan, too!<\/p>\n
They are a young organization of young people, growing super-fast. The first American chapter of Juventutem began in Michigan in 2012, and since then ten additional chapters have been formed all over the United States.<\/p>\n
A big highlight in their short history so far has been a Solemn High Mass in Boston in the Spring 2013, celebrated by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf. Over 200 people attended this first TLM in decades, illuminated by the artistry of the Choir of St. Paul \u00e2\u20ac\u201d boys from the Boston Archdiocesan Choir School \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and a professional male schola, who sang beautiful Renaissance polyphony by Victoria and Palestrina.<\/p>\n
If Juventutem has their way, such beauty is just the harbinger of things to come. Recently, four members \u00e2\u20ac\u201d three Harvard students and one alum \u00e2\u20ac\u201d sat down with Regina Magazine to tell us about Juventutem in the United States. Jim Mc Glone is a History major from New Jersey. Evan O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122dorney is studying mathematics; he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s originally from the San Francisco Bay area. Eileen Macron is a freshman from Staten Island, New York. Finally, Paul Schultz is a Harvard alum and a lawyer who is the Group Coordinator of the Michigan chapter of Juventutem and the Secretary of the F\u00c5\u201cderatio Internationalis Juventutem.<\/p>\n
How did you first discover the TLM?
\nJim: I had never even heard that the traditional Mass existed before starting college. Two years ago, I attended one for the first time at Boston\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cathedral of the Holy Cross. I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say that I immediately fell in love with the Latin Mass, but I kept coming back and learning more about it. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t long before I was altar serving and doing whatever I could to promote the Latin Mass among my peers.<\/p>\n
Eileen: I attended my first Latin Mass when I was ten years old, because my father preferred this style of the Mass and we found a parish nearby that said the TLM. Although I was resistant at first, I soon grew to love and prefer the Mass.<\/p>\n
